Create Freeform Surfaces Toolbox
The Create Freeform Surfaces toolbox contains tools to place or construct a free-form, helical surface, and to construct a surface by cross-sections, edges, skin, or by sweeping along curves.
All tools in a toolbox are not always visible by default. To see all tools, right-click in the toolbox and select Show All from the menu.
