DEFINITIONS
General Definitions Chain
A collection of adjacent edges and curves that share common endpoints. Chains can be open-ended or closed-loop, but they are always defined by two ends.
Surface Set
A collection of surface patches from solids or quilts. The patches do not need to be adjacent.
Methods of Construction Individual

Constructed by selecting individual entities (edges, curves, or surface patches) one at a time. This is also called the One-by-One method.
Rule-Based
Constructed by first selecting an anchor entity (edge, curve, or surface patch), and then automatically selecting its neighbors (a range of additional edges, curves, or surface patches) based on a rule. This is also called the Anchor/Neighbor method.
CONSTRUCTING CHAINS
Individual Chains One-by-One
To select adjacent edges one at a time along a continuous path: 1 Select an edge 2 Hold down SHIFT 3 Select adjacent edges 4 Release SHIFT
Rule-Based Chains Tangent

To select all the edges that are tangent to an anchor edge: 1 Select an edge 2 Hold down SHIFT 3 Highlight Tangent chain
(Query may be required)
Boundary
To select the outermost boundary edges of a quilt: 1 Select a one-sided edge of a quilt 2 Hold down SHIFT 3 Highlight Boundary chain
Surface Loop
To select a loop of edges on a surface patch: 1 Select an edge 2 Hold down SHIFT 3 Highlight Surface chain
4 Select tangent chain 5 Release SHIFT
4 Select boundary chain 5 Release SHIFT
4 Select surface loop 5 Release SHIFT
From-To
To select a range of edges from a surface patch or a quilt:
1 Select the From edge
2 Hold down SHIFT
3 Query to highlight the desired From-To chain
4 Select From-To chain
5 Release SHIFT
Multiple Chains
1 Construct initial chain 4 Release CTRL 2 Hold down CTRL 5 Hold down SHIFT 3 Select an edge for new chain 6 Complete new chain from selected edge
CONSTRUCTING SURFACE SETS

Individual Surface Sets Single Surfaces
To select multiple surface patches from solids or quilts one at a time: 1 Select a surface patch 2 Hold down CTRL 3 Select additional patches
4 Release CTRL
Rule-Based Surface Sets Solid Surfaces

To select all the surface patches of solid geometry in a model: 1 Select a surface patch on solid geometry 2 Right-click and select Solid Surfaces
Quilt Surfaces
To select all the surface patches of a quilt: 1 Select a surface feature 2 Select the corresponding quilt
Loop Surfaces
To select all the surface patches that are adjacent to the edges of a surface patch: 1 Select a surface patch 2 Hold down SHIFT 3 Place the pointer over an edge of the patch to highlight the Loop Surfaces 4 Select the Loop Surfaces
(The initial surface patch is de-selected)
5 Release SHIFT
Seed and Boundary Surfaces

To select all surface patches, from a Seed surface patch up to a set of Boundary surface patches:
1 Select the Seed surface patch
2 Hold down SHIFT
3 Select one or more surface patches to be used as boundaries
4 Release SHIFT
(All surfaces from the Seed up to the Boundaries are selected)
Excluding Surface Patches from Surface Sets

To exclude surface patches during or after construction of a surface set: 1 Construct a surface set 5 Release CTRL 2 Hold down CTRL 3 Highlight a patch from the surface set 4 Select the patch to de-select it
