Surfaces and solids

1. 1. Surfaces

   Surfaces are built from curves. Learn the main surface commands, when to use each, and how to check that surfaces are smooth and properly connected.

   • • Choose the right surface command for a shape
   • • Build surfaces with loft, sweep and revolve
   • • Understand continuity (G0, G1, G2)

2. 2. Solids, polysurfaces and Booleans

   A closed polysurface is a solid — needed for volumes, Booleans, 3D printing and clean exports. Learn to build, combine and repair solids.

   • • Create solids from primitives and surfaces
   • • Join and cap polysurfaces
   • • Use Boolean operations
