Functional Value

More options available for subdivision modeling. Integrate subdivision geometry with existing model geometry with tangency and curvature control. Users can loft surfaces between existing geometry to create smooth transitions such as between existing model geometry and geometry created using subdivision features.

User Experience Value

Improved surface quality for highly stylized designs. Users can check and get visual feedback to ensure the subdivision control cage does not self-intersect. Self-intersection of the control cage can lead to problems with downstream features and also create undesirable sharp changes in surface curvature which could look like wrinkles in the surface. New User Profiles allows common options, such as mouse 3D navigation, to be common across all relevant apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
