Hi,
If I import a series of cross-sectional data, can I generate surface?
cross sections are similar, but not same.

and after the surface generation, can I export the surface information?

If it is possible would you let me know how to?
I am so beginner.

Thank you,

The usual way would be to import the cross sections into a 3d CAD system and generate an IGES surface , and then import the surface into HM.

Thanks Greg,

So, you mean, HM itself doesn't have surface generation function,,,
To make surface from the cross-sections, I need to do outside of HM, then import to HM,,
Is it correct?

Thanks again!
