General surface and profile

[[SH...]]

my customer gave me a cad model and told to check the profile without drawing, they pointed me the features for alignment. I don't have curve and free from licence so I used general surface for checking the profile, my question is can I use general surface for profile or there is any standard operating procedure for working with general surface?. I opened the general surface definition template and selected points on the CAD model.

You should be able to click 1 General surface and define all the points using the 1 general surface. You can then use the general surface feature with the surface profile characteristic.

I believe this is equivalent as using space points and doubling the deviation from the model for calculating the profile. You should be fine using this for profile.

Thanks for the explanation, there is no evaluation action button inside the definition template!!
