Hi there, I have the following structure: [image] which should eventually be a six-sided closed solid, but the top side is not bound by a planar curve, so that I can’t use that functionality. I’ve tried to define a point in the center and radially created curves to the control points of the adj…

I think the Patch command can handle any number of edge curves.

Go to the side view. Draw a line new the top. Trim the top part off and planarsrf it?

@menno : Tried patch, it created a good looking surface, but the edges didn’t match and no closed solid was created. @jordy1989 : It needs to be in that current shape and orientation, although replacing it by a similar planar curve would have been my last resort :wink:

I see that, Patch does not match the edges. Who knew? In that case, I would extract all the edges with DupEdge. Then join all edges into 4 curves (up to you how to join them) and run the EdgeSrf command on the 4 joined curves.

@menno : Yeah, reducing it back to a situation with 4 curves for EdgeSrf really sounds like the best general approach for this problem. Thank you all very much! :slight_smile: PS: How (if) can I mark this thread as solved?

Patch will work, but knowledgeable selection of the parameters and iteration may be needed.

If the edge can be reduced to 4 smooth curves then EdgeSrf will be a better choice.
