Creates a four-sided surface by filling a region defined by four intersecting boundary curves. The resulting surface can maintain
continuity with surrounding surfaces depending on the options set.
In order for a square surface to be created, the following conditions must exist:
- The four boundary curves must intersect. You can ensure the curves intersect by snapping their end points to a common grid
line, or by magnet snapping the end point of one curve to the end point of another.
- You must select the curves in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

Sets the type of surface tangency created.
does not ensure continuity at the surface curves.
builds a smooth, continuous surface from the selected surface curves. When is on, the option becomes available. It specifies how accurately the surface will be built.
creates a surface tangency based on the normal of the plane where the selected curve resides.

Sets how many isoparms are used to achieve continuity across the surface curve. Larger values might create continuity with
more precision, but the surfaces might be less useful. This is especially likely when the surface curves intersect acutely.

tolerance means the value you set in the window is used. Positional tolerance sets how close the end points need to be in order to be considered coincident.
tolerance lets can enter a new value to override the tolerance value you set in Preferences.

provides an option to rebuild the surface curves used to generate the surface. This can improve curve parameterization in some cases.

Specifies the type of geometry created. ( means subdivision surfaces.)
