Surface could not be created from curve network

[Josh Hancock]

Hi, I am trying to create a surface from a series of NURBS curves. I have attached a file with just one set of the line groups that I am having trouble connecting into a surface.

 

I think there is probably something quite simple I am missing.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot

The reason why you can't make the create surface command work is that the nurbs are not co-planar. To get the result I think you are looking for you should try the loft surface tool on the 3rd mode.

 

• click the tool
• select the 3rd mode
• select the arc curve 
• select the two longest sides

 

You should get the results in the screen shot.

Thanks @markdd .

 

Your way worked, and I also found another way to solve the issue. Which is to 'compose' the lines first, and then convert them into a surface.

 

Thanks for your help.
