SURFACE (CTRL+S)

 

The functions in this menu allow the user to create and modify surfaces in eta/DYNAFORM. The dialog box is illustrated in Figure 5.2.1.

 

eta/DYNAFORM uses two sets of dotted lines to show the contour of a surface.  These lines are called U-V lines.

 

          U-V LINE

This function controls the on/off display of the U-V line on the surface.

 

          SURFACE NORMAL

This function controls the on/off display of the normal direction of the surface while the U-V line function is on.

 

A detailed description of these options is given in the following sections.
