Creating the Upper Surface
Next, you will create the upper surface of the vacuum cleaner using a Mono-rail
surface with two generation curves. When two generation curves are used,
the surface blends between the two shapes, as it sweeps along the path curve.
This will create a smooth surface blended between the wide nozzle and the
narrower handle section.
1 Choose Surfaces > Swept Surfaces > Rail Surface. Double-click the icon to
open the option window.
The Rail tool is set for 1 generation curve and 1 rail curve.
