|
You can select a support surface for each curve or edge. In this case continuity will
be assured between the fill surface and selected support surfaces.
|
|
-
Use the combo to specify the
desired continuity type between any selected support surfaces and the fill surface: Point
or Tangent.
The fill surface is displayed within the boundary.

You can edit the
boundary by first selecting an element in the dialog box list then choosing a button to
either:
|
|
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | Add a new element after or before the selected one |
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | Remove the selected element |
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | Replace the selected element by another curve |
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | Replace the selected support element by another support surface |
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | Remove the selected support element. |
|
|
This point should lie within the area delimited by the
selected curves. If not, the results may be inconsistent.
