Faces Menu: Create Faces Tools

This group of functions is used to create faces.

The following functions are available in this group:

3 Face Fillet

Create a fillet face tangent to three groups of smooth faces.

Cap Internal Islands

By default, this tool will close open gaps in a solid object, or create internal parting faces in the parting surface part by closing gaps on the work part faces. In addition, you can manually pick other internal loops to enable the function to build capping faces.

Close Open Gaps

Create faces that close open gaps in a skin of stitched faces

Drive

Create one or more faces by driving sections over rails and/or spines.

Extend by Draft Angle

Extend (unbend) parts along the draft angle of round faces.

Extend Planar & Cones

Extend stitched adjacent simple faces to reach a reference geometry (closed sketch, closed 2D composite or planar face).

This function enables you to extend adjacent planar, cylindrical or conic faces (belonging to the same object) or NURBs that can be simplified to these types) for creating Binder Faces.

Face-Curve Fillet

Create a fillet that is tangent to a set of smooth faces and goes through a curve.

Fillet

Create fillet faces between two (2) sets of smoothly connected faces. Each set may consist of one or more faces that may be trimmed or split as required. Sometimes it can be unneccessary to trim or split faces when performing a fillet operation, such as when one face will be needed later in separate face operations-The fillet operation provides that option. 

Fillet Corner

Create a fillet corner face connecting three other fillet faces.

Fuzzy Offset

Create an approximate offset surface out of a complex skin surface.

Mesh

Create a face by defining a mesh of curves/edges (sections and cross sections).

Revolve

Create a face by revolving a curve/edge.

Skin (Face)

Create a surface that interpolates a series of sections with a guide curve.

Warp Faces

Recreate a face according to defined constraints.
