Construct Solids and Surfaces from Lines and Curves

Expand All

Expand all collapsed sections.

Collapse All

Collapse all expanded sections.

Concept

Procedure

Use existing lines and curves to define both the profile and path for the solid or surface.

Extrude Objects
Create solids and surfaces by extending objects into 3D space.
Create a Solid or Surface by Sweeping
Create a new solid or surface by sweeping a planar curve (profile) along a path.
Create a Solid or Surface by Lofting
Create a 3D solid or surface by lofting a profile through a set of two or more cross-section profiles.
Create a Solid or Surface by Revolving
Create a 3D object by revolving objects about an axis.
