Adding a Face to a Closed Curve

The Make Surface tool is used to add a face to a closed NURBS curve, creating a surface. It can also be used to add a face to close up the hole in an open surface, such as after converting a curved surface with open top and bottom to a NURBS object, or after deleting an extra face that resulted in a hole.

Usage

First of all, the Make Surface tool can be used to add a face to a closed NURBS curve, as follows:

1. Select one or more closed curves with no breaks.
   
2. In CAD Mode, select Make Surface from the Toolbox's CAD editing tools.
   
3. A face is added to the curve, creating a NURBS surface.
   

The Make Surface tool can also be used to close up one or more holes in an open surface, as follows:

1. In the figure below, a NURBS object converted from a curved surface is shown. It's an open surface, with no face on the top and bottom.
   
   
2. In CAD Mode, select Make Surface from the Toolbox's CAD editing tools.
   
3. A face is added to both the top and bottom, resulting in a closed surface.
