Extend Sheet and Enlarge
- [Instructor] Sometimes you just need to make a surface bigger. And we have a couple tools that I wanted to discuss. One of 'em is called extend sheet. So here I have a surface, you can see it's just a body. Maybe you translated it in. You lost the parameters of the surface, and you need to extend it out. So there's a tool called extend sheet. The way this works is you basically are picking the edges that you want to extend out. And I'll start off with this edge. Now in this case, you can see what's going on, as it extends out, it's going out beyond where these two edges come together as a vertex, and it just goes on beyond. You can see it wants to extend that surface out. Now, as I look at this surface. I'm gonna go and pick this edge as well. I can see that now, because I have a chain of edges, it's not going to terminate at that theoretical. It does a really nice job. There's different ways that I can extend this out. Right now, I have it set to natural tangent. And if I look at…
