Surface is a type of geometry that can be used to create solid features. Surface tools are available on the Surface toolbar. You can create surfaces by these methods:
Plane - from a coordinate system and define the length and width, or create by 3 points.
Cylinder - from a coordinate system and define the radius, start and end angle, bottom and top height, or create by specifing bottom, top center.
Cone - from a coordinate system, and define the semi-spine angle , bottom radius, start and end angle, bottom and top height, or create by specifing bottom, top center and radius.
Sphere - from a coordinate system, and define the radius and three angles parameters, or create by select center point and another point on sphere or define the radius.
Torus - from a coordinate system and define the path and profile radius, and other three angles parameters.
Ellipsoid - from a coordinate system and define the A, B, C radius, and other U, V angles.
Fill Plane - insert a planar surface from a sketch or from a set of closed edges that lie on a plane, or a group of points
Extrude - given a edge or wire as profile, an axis as direction, it linearly extrudes a surface or shell.
Revolve - given a edge or wire as profile, an axis as rotational direction, it rotates a surface or shell.
Sweep - given an edge or wire as profile curve, another edge or wire as path curve, it sweeps a surface or shell
Loft - give a set of edge or wire, it loft a surface or shell. The two ends of the curves group can be replace by point. Such as you can create a cone surface by loft a circle and a point.
N-Side Surface - give a set of connected edges or wires, to fill a surface. You can add boundary constraint such as C1, C2.
Patch Surface - give 3, 4 or 5 edges, create a flat, middle,round surface.
Bridge- select edges from one face and select another edges from another face, and create a bridge surface to make two faces connected together.
Combine - select neighbour faces or shell, fit a surface which combine them together.
Fit Surface - fit a surface from point cloud or mesh.
Middle Surface - give a pair of surfaces or a solid shape, create middle surfaces.
Morph Surface - modify surface by control points, points on surface or profile curves.
Fit Primary - select nodes or elements, fit Plane, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere, Extrude Surface or Revolve Surface.
Select surface edges and vertices to use as a sweep guide curve and path.
Create a solid or cut feature by thickening a surface.
Extrude a solid or cut feature with the end condition Up to Surface or Offset from Surface.
Create a solid feature by thickening surfaces that have been knit into a closed volume.
Replace a face with a surface
