Rebuilding surfaces

“

- [Narrator] In this video, we'll take a look at Rhino's rebuild command, as it applies to surfaces, and essentially what rebuild does is to reconstruct a selected surface with a specified degree and number of control points in a U and V directions. Lots of applications in Rhino where you will need to rebuild a surface. A couple simple examples are when a surface is either too complex or too simple, and we can see that right here in our exercise file, Surfaces Rebuild.3dm. So, on the left I have just a plane, you can see just looking at the iso curves, this does not have too many control points, and the degree is 1. So when we talk about the degree of a surface, that means several different things, but in this case, what it can control, is how much that surface can change, and how much difference curvature it can support. So, this surface on the other hand, you can see lots of iso curves, in fact, they look maybe…
