NURBS Surface

This type of surface is based on Bezier corves or splines using fit points and control vertices
Create NURBS surface is similar to creating any other procedural surface (by Extrude, Sweep, Loft)

The different is NURBS surface has fit points and control vertices enable you to edit the surface easily

2 ways to create NURBS surface:

• Toggle ON the NURBS Creation command before creating the surface by Extrude, Sweep, Loft.
• Convert the procedural surface to NURBS surface

Ex: Create ans Edit NURBS Surface

Ex: Manipulating by 3D Gizmo

3D Gizmo work with 2D and 3D objects

Move

Home tab > Selection panel > Move Gizmo

Select the box

Move gizmo show on  the box

Click on the grip and move the 3D gizmo to the bottom-right corner

Click on the Y axis (green) and snap to one of the corner of the wedge
The box move along Y axis and stop at the left face of the wedge

Click on the X axis (red) and snap to the corner of the wedge

Click on the Z axis (blue) and snap to the top corner

Click on the Y axis (green) and snap to the right corner of the wedge

Rotate

Home tab > Selection panel > Rotate Gizmo

Select the box

Hover cursor over the green circle, the Y axis (green) show on the box

Click on the green circle to confirm the axis
Move cursor and snap to the lower-right corner for the rotation angle

Repeat the same steps, move and rotate the cylider on the wedge 

Scale

Home tab > Selection panel > Scale Gizmo

Select the cylinder

Move the Scale gizmo to the base of the wedge
Click on one of the axis and snap to the midpoint of the right edge of the wedge

Cylinder scale on the wedge

3D Modify

3D Move

You can use move command to move objects in 3D space by object snap

3D move can let you move objects with the constraint of X, Y, Z axis

3D Rotate

3D Rotate let you rotate objects about X, Y, Z axis

3D Align

3D Align enables you to move and rotate objects at the same time in 3D space

3D Scale

3D Scale enables you to scale objects along the plane: XY, XZ, YZ

3D Mirror

3D Mirror enables you to mirror objects about 3D plane

Options

Object
Aligned with the plane of the selected object (Circle, Arc, Polyline)

Last
Use the last defined mirror plane

Z axis
Defined the axis by 2 points
2nd point perpendicular to the plane of 1st point

Vuew
Select a point
Mirror plane is created perpendicular to the view direction and passes through the selected point

3D Array

Start the 2D Array command, from the Array ribbon, there are 3D options, like Level

Rectangular Array

Specify the number of level for 3D

Polar Array
