Surfaces
- [Instructor] Points and curves make up the backbone of complex geometry. In the last lesson we learnt how to transform curves. Now let's use these curves to create more complex geometry, such as surfaces or Breps, otherwise known as B-reps. As you can see, I'm currently looking at the Rhino API documentation, specifically the surface class. Within here we won't really find what we need to create geometry from our curves. As this class is more appropriate for simple extruded or filleted surfaces. We can however, use a NurbsSurface, which is a type of surface. As we can see here in the inheritance hierarchy. The NurbsSurface offers a way to create more complex surfaces. As we can see in these static methods, let's use the method create ruled surface, which will allow us to input two curves as the parameters and return a NurbsSurface. I currently have the exercise file open for this lesson. This is basically where we…
