NURBS surface modeling in Alias

Gain greater control and precision using the NURBS surface modeling tools, including skin creation, freeform blends, and crown shapes.


Module overview

In surface modeling in Alias, it is important to learn how to apply common parameters across various surface types for consistency. Using tools like Skin and Freeform, you can create straight-line or blended surfaces between curves, which enhances control over continuity. The Shift key allows you to skin multiple curves for complex models, while understanding trimmed edge options with Freeform Blend is essential. 

In addition, tools like Multi-surface Draft make it easier for you to extrude flange surfaces from curves or edges, and the Revolve Manipulator helps refine revolved objects. Additionally, learning how to create surface fillets for fixed width blends or rounded edges ensures seamless, manufacturable designs that meet clearance requirements.
