To Create a Quilt Tangent to a Surface
1. Create a reference curve.
2. Click > > . The
Tangent Surface dialog box opens, with
![](../../surfacing/surface/images/tan_draft_crv_1.png)
selected by default.
3. Specify the draft direction by selecting one of the following:
◦ One Sided—The draft is created only on one side of the reference curve.
◦ Two Sided—The draft is created on both sides of the reference curve.
4. Specify the pull direction.
5. Click the
References tab, click
![](../../surfacing/surface/images/sel_pick.png)
under
Draft Line Selection, and select the reference curve. The reference curve must lie outside the reference part geometry.
| If you have selected One Sided as the draft direction earlier, then you can click ![](../../surfacing/surface/images/sel_pick.png) under Parting Surface and select the parting surface. |
6. The system automatically determines the surfaces that the draft is tangent to. However, if you are not satisfied with the automatic selection, click
![](../../surfacing/surface/images/sel_pick.png)
under
Tangent To and select the appropriate surfaces on the reference part.
7. Click
![](../../surfacing/surface/images/cl_preview.png)
to preview the tangent draft geometry. If required, you can change the draft geometry by specifying the
Closing Surfaces,
Spine Curves, or
Cap Angle, located on the
Options tab. You can also edit the reference curve by using the
Curves tab.
8. When satisfied with the feature geometry, click
![](../../surfacing/surface/images/cl_ok.png)
to close the dialog box and create the feature.
