The two red horizontal arrows are the Guide Wires and the two red vertical arrows are the profiles. Notice that the edges of the surfaces have been used as the Guide Wires and the edges of the solid have been used as the profiles. Profile and Guide Wires do not have to be part of a surface or a solid, they can be elements. The Profile ends must come in contact with the Guide wires. | The resulting surface is matched to the edges of the two surfaces.
