Menu : SURFACE

Command: Plane:Fill

Shortcut : None

This command fills a planar (flat) gap in the target 3D curves. The gap is first selected by the command SURFACEÞPlane:Select. Curves are created from these edges and are stored in a 3D curve-set. The curve set produced by this command should be the target. This command is then used to fill these areas with planar surfaces. If all the curves in the set are not located on an equal level the command issues a warning, but still creates a planar surface.

In this example the top edge of the revolved surface was selected with SURFACEÞPlane:Select before filling the gap with SURFACEÞPlane:Fill to get the result on the right. It would not be possible to fill both the gaps at the top and bottom of this surface in one go with this technique. You would have to repeat the procedure twice. There are other (better) ways of achieving this result in this simple case this. This command is usually used for more complex ‘gaps’.
