Convert Mesh To Surface

Used to convert a mesh element to a B-spline surface. The mesh element should be of the kind that does not wrap around. Typically, meshes that are used to represent digital terrain models are good candidates for this tool.

You can access this tool from the following:



  • Ribbon: Modeling > Mesh > Mesh Utilities
  • Toolbox: Mesh Utilities
