Creating Sew Surfaces

Sewing is a Boolean operation combining a surface with an existing element. It is available with hybrid bodies, geometrical sets and ordered geometrical sets. You can sew a given surface onto an existing support. It adds or removes surface by modifying the existing element.

Before you begin: Create two surfaces.

  1. Click Sew Surface in the Operations toolbar (Trim-Split sub-toolbar).

    The Sew Surface Definition dialog box appears:

  2. In the Support surface box, select surface onto which the other will be sewed.



  3. In the Object to sew box, select the surface to be sewed.

    An arrow appears indicating the side where material will be added or kept. Note that clicking this arrow reverses the given direction.

  4. Click OK.

    The surface is sewn onto the object.
