What is the benefit of this enhancement?
In Box mode, the control mesh is shaded and not the actual B-spline surface. Along with the B-spline surfacing, the Box mode surfacing helps you rapidly create the features, when used effectively.
Surfaces are generated faster in Box mode than the standard mode. As a result, you do not see any lag in surface creation when you manipulate the control mesh. This allows you to efficiently perform complex manipulations.
A new icon in the in-graphics toolbar helps you toggle between the modes.
