How to patch this boundary ?

[cali.season26]

Hi,

I am trying to patch this 1D boundary (attached file).

Is there a way to do that ?

Of course, there is an infinity of possible surfaces, but, saying a ruled surface, so some minimal area ...

Writing this post (2 hours that my brain is boiling with that) ... I have an idea, with a sweep surface, a line as profile and a middle rail so then 2 pathes for the sweep ... the patch will have another lack into the middle, but at least, I will fill this @#??§° boundary with something

Perhaps there is a Tippy guy with a better idea ?

In all cases, I will try the idea.

Tx for any other idea

Your design comes up in the Sculpt mode (TSplines).  Is that intentional?  Did you want to create a Sculpt body?  If so, there is no good way to do that, other than creating a set of faces.

However, if all you want to do is get a surface (patch) through this curve, use the Boundary Patch feature in the Patch workspace.  I did notice that your curve is not closed, but once I closed it, it worked OK:

If you did want to create a Sculpt/TSpline surface, here is how you would go about it.  You'd probably want to create a few more Faces to get a better fit, but you get the idea.  The key is to use Object Snap to snap to the curves, and to make sure you get the blue dot when you make each face, to make sure that the faces connect to the others.  But, it's not too bad, and you have some more flexibility around modifying the surface afterward

Another great thanks.

You show a feature that I don't use very often ... I didn't notice the snap option.

In fact, the patch feature did exactly what I want, but this other way is very interesting too.

This would be easier to do and possibly also with a loft if you had creates the 4 curves as single continuous curves. A little care in sketching curves makes one heck of a difference when creating surfaces from these curves.
