Ruled Mesh

Use this feature to create a ruled line mesh that visually simulates the surface formed by simultaneously moving a line (a generator) along two director curves.

Tabulated Cylinder Mesh

Mesh from Revolution

Use this feature to create a mesh that visually simulates the surface formed by rotating a generator curve about an axis by a specified angular distance.

Sphere Mesh
