Boundary Surfaces and Surfaces

Boundary Surfaces and Surfaces

Boundary Surfaces and Surfaces

(OP)
Dear All,
Other than difference in their way of construction, is there any difference between Boundary Surface and Surfaces.
Or is it that,after they are constructed, there is essentially no difference between them?

RE: Boundary Surfaces and Surfaces

Hi,

For example, go to Geometry / Boundary Surface / From Curves (or Alt+F11) select curves with closed loop (bounded) to create a boundary surface (it can contains holes).
Then you can convert this boundary surface to surface, go to Geometry / Surface / Convert. Depending on what are you working with, this method may be very helpful.
So, the boundary surface is one of the surface creation type.

Hope this helps,
SN

Hello Seif,

So can I say that the boundary surface is a tool to create more sophisticated surface( for e.g surface with a hole )?

RE: Boundary Surfaces and Surfaces

you can make the bore of a hole very easily, many different ways.

the main thing a boundary surface does for you is you can define the boundary (a closed set of curves).

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

Dear Seif , rb1957 , compositecurves,
Thank you all.
I was wondering as to where in the manuals can I find such descriptions.
The contents of the manual that I have seen are terribly lacking in providing the information that you have provided.
Or am I missing something here! Does there exist a manual wherein such an information is documented.

RE: Boundary Surfaces and Surfaces

Go to Help Topics and under search enter the key words...
this is the fastest way for me to find the information quickly.
