How to add your knowledge
Table of contents
No headersThe Patch command creates a surface, also called a boundary patch, that replaces a missing face.
Use Patch to replace a missing face on a quilt, or create a face on an opening in a solid. You can create boundary patches to form a continuous quilt or create a solid. The missing face must have a connected series of edges that forms the boundary of the patch.
If the edges are not coplanar, the patch surface adds curvature to create a blend between the edges. You can control the curvature at each edge to produce a smoother surface.
- Switch the toolbar workspace to Surface.
- Click Patch on the Surface pull-down.
- In the graphics area, select the edge of a missing face or an opening on a solid. All of the connected edges are automatically selected to create a closed profile.
- Select the transition between the patch and the edges.
- Connected Creates a surface with G0 edges (the new surface edges are connected at an angle).
- Tangent Creates a surface with G1 edges (the new surface edges are tangential).
- Curvature Creates a surface with G2 edges (the new surface edges are blended with continuous curvature).
- Right-click then click OK to create the surface.
Enables the selection of edges.
When enabled, clicking a single edge selects all adjacent edges.
Controls the transition between the patch and the selected edges.
- Connected Creates a surface with G0 edges (the new surface edges are connected at an angle).
- Tangent Creates a surface with G1 edges (the new surface edges are tangential).
- Curvature Creates a surface with G2 edges (the new surface edges are blended with continuous curvature).
