Does anybody know how to (easy and fast create) a rectangular surface out of a set of curves? In I-deas there was this option 'surface by boundary'. I there a similar command in Nx3, except 'Through curves'?
Is the surface planar? If so go INSERT-SURFACE-BOUNDED PLANE.
If not planar then 'Through curve mesh' should do the trick.
INSERT-MESH SURFACE-THROUGH CURVE MESH.
They have started hiding many command incons so that you have to manually add them to your toolbars as you need them. It seems counter-intuitive to me, especially for newer users.
It's simpler to create an N-Sided surface but N-Sided surface doesn't provide nearly the amount of control that Through Curve Mesh does. N-sided Surface is a niche command that is not a do-all surface creator like Through Curve Mesh can be.
Try matching the middle of an N-sided surface to a profile or curve...you can't. However, you can just add the curve to a TCM mesh and be done with it.
I just didn't care too much for the "blah blah blah" crap that was posted. Not a very good idea to post something like that when he might be the one needing our advice in the future. I know that I won't be offering any of my "blah blah blah" to him should he be needing help.
I also have a feeling we won't need to worry about it because he probably won't be here very much longer.
