SrfPt

Draw a surface from three or four corner points.

PlanarSrf

Create a planar surface from planar curves.

NetworkSrf

Fit a surface through a network of crossing curves.

Loft

Fit a surface through profile curves that define the surface shape.

EdgeSrf

Create a surface from two, three, or four curves.

Patch

Fit a surface through curves and point objects.

PlaneThroughPt

Fit a rectangular planar surface through points.

CutPlane

Create planar surfaces through objects at specified locations.

Picture

Draw a rectangular planar surface with a bitmap texture.

ExtrudeCrvAlongCrv

Drive closed planar curves along a path curve.

ExtrudeCrvTapered

Drive closed planar curves in a straight line tapering at an angle.

ExtrudeCrvToPoint

Drive closed planar curves tapering to a point.

Ribbon

Offset a curve and create a ruled surface between the curves.

RibbonOffset

Offsets a closed curve and then creates a ruled or sweep2 surface between the input and offset curves.

Fin

Extrude a curve on a surface in the surface normal direction.

Sweep1

Fit a surface through profile curves and one edge curve.

Sweep2

Fit a surface through profile curves and two edge curves.

Drape

Create a surface through the intersections of objects and points projected toward the construction plane.

Heightfield

Create a surface based on gray-scale color values in an image file.

SrfPtGrid

Draw a surface from a grid of points that lie on the surface.

DevLoft

Creates a single developable surface between two rails.
