The following geometric construction interfaces create planar and curved surfaces.

Each command supporting the Projection3D option displays tabs and interfaces appropriate to the command.

Plane from Coordinate System

Creates a plane normal to an axis of a coordinate system at a given distance from the coordinate system origin.

Plane by Points

Creates a plane from three points.

Plane by Positions

Creates a plane from three points, either by selecting points or defining point coordinates.

Plane by Two Points and Normal

Creates a plane passing through two points and normal to a curve.

Surface by Curves

Creates a multi-patch surface faired from a series of cross-section curves.

Surface by Corrugation

Creates a corrugated surface by extruding a corrugation cross-section.

Surface by Curves

Creates a single surface from two or more edge-to-edge curves.

Surface by Swage

Creates a swaged surface by extruding a cross-section with a swage pattern and defining the top and bottom locations.

Surface by Sweeping

Creates a surface from a set of planar cross-section curves and path curves.

The following surface geometric constructions are available by selecting More in the Geometric Construction box of any geometric construction ribbon:

Surface by Blending

Creates a surface from a set of curves while maintaining tangencies with adjacent surfaces. For more information, see .

Surface by Fillet

Creates a radius surface between two surfaces.

Surface with Knuckles

Creates a multi-patch knuckled surface.
