Create a network of curves

Create a network of intersecting curves to describe a surface.

Create a new curve network surface

  1. Choose CrvNet Tools > New Network.
  2. Pick all the curves you want to define the new surface. It doesn’t matter in what order you pick the curves.
  3. Click Go.
    TipThe New network tool will let you create a curve network from invalid curves (for example, curves that do not intersect), but the actual surfaces will not build until you edit the curves to create a valid network.
    NoteUse CrvNet Tools > Analyze Network to look for the problem that prevented the surfaces from building.
