There is one other use of continuity that you will use in this tutorial: Implied
Tangent.
Implied Tangent A curve or surface is created on the center line, and will be
mirrored. The Implied Tangent tools make sure that the two surfaces (original
and mirrored) will be tangent to each other.
Understanding these concepts and using the tools that control them enables
you to create smooth, organic designs in Alias.
Construction Tolerances
Construction Tolerances are important as well, when matching surfaces.
Construction tolerances specify the accuracy of the Position, Tangent, and
Curvature continuity when surfaces are built. This is important if the model
is used for manufacture or is transferred to another CAD system.
For more detailed information, please read the explanation in Using Alias of
continuity and in the Reference manual, Preferences > Construction Options
