Surface Editing toolbar

The Surface Editing toolbar is displayed when you double-click on a surface.

It contains the following buttons that you can use to edit the surface:

	Select curves on surfaces – you can use this tool to select the surface's internals, instead of using the mouse. Note that internals are called surface curves in PS-Surfacer, and may also be referred to as 'longtitudinals' and 'laterals', depending on their direction
	Select all curves in current direction (where curves = internals) .
	Select all curves on selected surface (where curves = internals)
	Select pattern of points – you can use this tool to select points at the intersections of internals
	Delete a curve on a surface – you can use this tool to delete an internal
	Create a curve – you can use this tool to add an internal
	Insert a curve from wireframe – you can use this tool to add
	Add a spine to the surface – you can use this tool to add a spine, which is a reference line to which laterals are linked. If you edit the spine, you can change the shape of the surface.
	Change the surface's name
	Display the surface in its trimmed or untrimmed state
	Swap surface laterals and longitudinals
	Reverse a surface
	Orient surface normals, so that normals in adjacent surfaces all point in the same general direction.
	Open a surface, to create an open boundary. PS-Surfacer deletes the surface between the first and last point in the given direction
	Close a surface, by linking the first and last point in the selected direction.
	Renumber laterals/longitudinals
	Spline a surface
	Approximate surface to tolerance
	Simplify the outside trim
	Stitch surfaces together
	Fit a surface to wireframe and point objects
	Append a surface
	Break a surface
	Inspect a Surface
	At the far right the Direction list box displays the direction of the selected surface curve.
