Draws a rectangular planar NURBS surface from specified corner locations, two adjacent corners and a distance, perpendicular to the construction plane, or from a center.
Steps:
-
Pick
the first corner.
-
Pick the other corner or type a length.
Options
Note: Planes are drawn with the same options as the Rectangle
command.
Sets the degree in the u- and v-directions
and the point count in the u- and v-directions.
UDegree/VDegree
Sets the degree of the surface in the u- and v-directions.
UPointCount/VPointCount
Number of points in the u- and v-directions. (Must be at least UDegree or VDegree+1.)

Creates a planar surface from planar curves that define the surface edges.
Steps:
-
Select
planar curves
that are all in the same plane.
Notes
-
If the curves partially overlap, each curve produces a separate surface.
-
If a curve is wholly within another curve then it will be treated as a hole boundary.

Creates a rectangular planar surface with the specified bitmap image attached as a texture.
Steps:
-
Select a bitmap file.
-
Pick
a corner of the plane.
-
Pick or type the length.
-
The plane retains the same aspect (length to width) ratio as the image.
The bitmap image appears on the plane in the rendered
viewport or image.
Options
Draws the picture frame plane vertical to the current construction plane.
