Use Draft in
Flange mode or Multi-surface draft to create
a surface from a set of surface curves, at an angle relative to
the original surface.
Pull a single surface from
tangent-continuous curves of existing surfaces
- Choose Surfaces > Draft Surfaces > Multi-Surface Draft ❒.
- In the option box:
- Set Type to Normal to
create a flange-like surface, or Draft to
create a draft surface.
- Set Surface Type to Single
surface
- Check on Auto Recalc.
- Click the isoparametric curves, edges,
and/or curves-on-surface. Click the curves in order from one end
to the other.
As
each curve is added, it is highlighted in yellow, and a flange surface
is built. A single flange surface is created no matter how many
surface curves have been selected.
- If you set Type to Draft,
you will also need to select a pull vector to specify the initial direction
of the surface. (Use the Vector Options or
use Construction > Vector to create a vector object).
- Use the manipulator to adjust the flange/draft
surface’s height or angle.
Set the angle or height
at a point along the surface
- Click one of the handles, then drag left
or right to change the parameter, or type a number.
- Use the Variable option
to determine whether the manipulator controls the angle or height
parameter.
- You can add additional manipulators by
clicking anywhere on the curve(s).
