Please help with surface creation

Hi

 

I have a question; how i can create a surface if i just have an alignment and some cross section views?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a tool xsect2surf that may help - not on PC now so can't give anymore details but try googling.

That really looks interesting but the latest link I could find says it's for C3D 2012 or 2013.

EDIT:  I saw one link that referred to this task as "Reverse Engineering the Cross Section".  That seems appropriate.  Smiley Tongue
