Skin (Face)
Access: Open this function from the following location:
-
Select Faces > Create Faces > Skin from the menu bar.
Create a surface that interpolates a series of sections with a guide curve.
A surface is fitted between the picked sections. When skinning with a guide curve, one or more 3-space curves can be specified between the skinning sections, and the surface will follow the guide curves. The surface will be C1 continuous at every point, even across the guide itself.
