A surface is like a rectangular stretchy rubber sheet. The NURBS form can represent simple shapes, such as planes and cylinders, as well as free-form, sculptured surfaces.
All surface creation commands in Rhino result in the same object: a NURBS surface. Rhino has many tools for constructing surfaces directly or from existing curves.
All NURBS surfaces have an inherently rectangular organization.
甚至于圆柱面这样的造型也可以看作是一个矩形面首尾相接构成的,相接的边缘处被称为接缝,即使一个造型看起来不是矩形结构,它也是通过矩形结构修剪或移动了边缘的控制点形成的。
曲面可以是开放或封闭的,两端开放的圆柱面,有一个方向是封闭的。
环状体在两个方向都是封闭的。
