Learning Technical Surfacing Surface Creation > Summary

Summary

Check your model before beginning the fillets. The edges of the trimmed model must be clean as it is not possible to correct a model using the various options in the Surfaces > Surface fillet

tool option box.
Many curves that define feature lines are planar in a special view. Once you have achieved an acceptable shape, planarize the curve to refine the shape.
When modifying planar curves, the planar characteristics must be maintained. Use the SLIDE or NUV options in the Control Panel > Evaluate > Move CV tool. The NUV option works on curves, but does not maintain planar characteristics on surface edges.
