You can create these elements using the following methods:

• Generate them using other geometry on the model. For example, you can create points and curves at the intersection of other curves and surfaces.

• Create them from scratch. For example, you can create extruded, revolved, and swept surfaces using the Solid Edge construction surface creation commands.

• Generate them using an external file. For example, you can create a helix curve using coordinate data in a spreadsheet.

• Import them from another CAD system. For example, you can import surfaces and solids from a third-party CAD system.

• Generate them as a part copy from another Solid Edge part. For example, you can create construction geometry using the Part Copy command.
