The Ruled command creates a ruled surface at a specified distance and angle from selected edges in Fusion.

Design > Surface > Create > Ruled

Feature tab

Select geometry and define the ruled surface settings.

Edges

Select edges to create the ruled surface from.

Chain Selection

Check to automatically select tangentially connected geometry.

Type

Select the ruled surface type.

Type	Description
Normal	Creates a ruled surface normal to the face of the selected edges.
Tangent	Creates a ruled surface tangent to the face of the selected edges.
Direction	Creates a ruled surface in a direction that you select.

Direction

Select a linear edge, plane, or axis to define the direction to extend the ruled surface.

Distance

Specify the distance to extend the ruled surface.

Angle

Specify the rotation angle of the ruled surface.

Alternate Faces

Check to flip the direction or angle when edges share more than one face.

Mitered Corners

Check to create sharp corners instead of rounded corners.

Operation

Select an operation to control how the feature affects the design.

• New Body: Creates a new body in the active component.
• New Component: Creates a new body in a new component.

Analysis tab

Lets you analyze the quality of surface curvature on the previewed result in the canvas.

Analysis Type

Select an analysis type to visualize the quality of surface curvature on the selected body.

Type	Description
None	Displays no analysis.
Zebra	Displays alternating black and white stripes on a body to help you analyze surface curvature.
Curvature Map	Displays a color gradient on a body to help you analyze areas of high and low surface curvature.
Isocurve	Applies UV mapping and curvature combs to help you analyze the quality of the surface curvature.

Bodies

Select bodies to analyze.
