The boundary surface feature lets you create surfaces that can be tangent or curvature continuous in both directions (all sides of the surface). In most cases, this delivers a higher quality result than the loft tool. Consumer product designers and others who require high quality surfaces with curvature continuity can use this tool.
Direction
1 and Direction 2 are fully
interchangeable in the PropertyManager. You achieve the same results whether
you select entities using Direction 1
or 2.
