About the Auto Surface User Interface
The Auto Surface tab consists of commands and tabs. Click Restyle > Auto Surface to open the Auto Surface tab.
Commands
• —Defines the scope of the spline surface.
◦ —Generates a surface over the entire faceted model.
◦ —Generates a surface over a selected closed loop area on the facet feature.
▪ —Adds contour curves that define a closed loop area.
▪ —Flips the area of the surface to the other side of the loop.
• —Defines the patch structure.
◦ —Designates a curve as an internal curve.
◦ —Removes a curve from the selected internal curves.
◦ Add patches box—Sets the number of patches to add.
◦ —Generates the patch structure.
• —Creates the surface.
◦ Resolution—Sets the number of grid lines in each patch.
◦ —Creates a surface from the patch structure.
Tabs
• References
◦ Entire facet feature—Generates a surface over the entire faceted model.
◦ Area in loop—Generates a surface over a selected closed loop area on the facet feature.
▪ —Adds contour curves that define a closed loop area.
▪ —Flips the area of the surface to the other side of the loop.
▪ —Removes contour curves that define a closed loop area.
• Parameters
◦ Granularity—Sets the number of possible curves in the surface.
◦ Character level—Sets the amount of curvature required for a line to be designated as a curve.
• Constraints
◦ Tangent—Sets a tangency condition on the curve. Makes surfaces on both sides of the curve tangent.
◦ Position—Sets a position condition on the curve. Surfaces on both sides of the curve are not influenced by side surfaces.
