This subpanel creates surfaces by interpolating linearly between lines or nodes.

surfaces_ruled_example

Three inputs are required to create a surface using this method:

The line list or node list that defines the first edge of the surface to create.
-If a node list is specified, a line will first be fit through the specified nodes.
The line list or node list that defines the second edge of the surface to create.
-If a node list is specified, a line will first be fit through the specified nodes.
The auto reverse option prevents "bow tie" surfaces from being generated.  The lines used to create the surface can be ordered in different directions.  This results in a surface that crosses itself resembling a bow tie.  Enabling this option ensures that surfaces are generated with a similar order on each side.
