Surfaces Toolbox
The Surfaces toolbox contains tools useful for surface modeling tasks.
Note: 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.
Each of the tools in the Surfaces toolbox is also a member of a "child" toolbox. When a tool is pointed to and the Data button held down, a drop-down menu opens from which a tool in the child toolbox can be selected. The child toolbox can be opened as a floating toolbox by choosing Open As ToolBox from the drop-down menu.
When a tool is selected in a child toolbox, the tool automatically becomes the "representative" of the child toolbox in the Surfaces toolbox.
The following table shows the "as delivered" arrangement of the Surfaces toolbox and identifies the corresponding child toolboxes and, for each, the default representative tool:
| Primitive Surfaces toolbox(Slab Surface) |
| Create Surfaces toolbox (Surface by Extrusion) |
| Create Freeform Surfaces toolbox (Loft Surface) |
| Modify Surfaces toolbox (Trim Surfaces) |
| Modify B-spline Surfaces toolbox (Edit B-spline Surface) |
| Surface Utilities toolbox (Convert to Surface) |
