Menu : SURFACE

Command: Change:Representation

Shortcut : None

This command changes the representation (Bézier or B-spline) of the target surface or curve set. The shape of the surface will be preserved in the change as much as possible.

A B-spline surface may always be changed into a Bézier surface without changing shape. A change from Bézier to B-spline may alter the shape of the surface slightly. However, if the Bézier surface has originally been converted from a B-spline surface, and it has not been subsequently edited, the reverse conversion will not change the shape.

This command cannot be used to convert a smooth surface to a facetted surface. A separate command SURFACEÞChange:Faceted is provided for this operation.
