Merge and correct surfaces
========================
Procedural surface fusion
Thanks to the "Merge" tool, it is possible to create a surface between 2 other surfaces. This method involves selecting the edges of each object that will form the blend surface. To better understand what I'm talking about, below is a small illustration of all this. ^^

First the top surface was created with the "Rectangle", "Circle" and "Smooth (Loft)" tools. The one below with the "Circle" and "Smooth (Loft)" tools. Make the same drawing on your side to do this exercise with me.
Go to the "Sub-object" function group of the "Home" tab and choose the "Edge" filter. A small blue cube with the upper front edge a little thicker than the others appears near your cursor. This means that you will only select the edges of your objects. Return to the "Surface" tab and click on "Merge". Select the inner edges of the upper surface (4 edges), validate with Enter and then select the inner edge of the lower surface. Press 2x times Enter.

Here is the result of the merge. AutoCAD created a third surface between the other 2 based on the edges of the 2 objects.
Want to make that in IntelliCAD. How please?
