Face Blend
Face blends have several uses. They can span across gaps between faces, they can be useful
in blending complex surfaces, and they can be defined by a boundary curve instead of a
radius. For example, you can create a face blend, which spans across a gap between two
faces. To do this, activate the
Face Blend
command (on the ribbon, click
Surface > Sur-
face > Face Blend
) and select the
Type > Two Defining Face Chains
. Select the first face
chain, and then click
Select Face Chain 2
. Select the second face chain and type-in a value
in the
Radius
box under the
Cross Section
section. Ensure that the arrows point in the
same direction.
