create a surface with class A on several edges

Hi Dears,

My name is Mehran, I have been working with this software for fifteen years, how can I create a surface with class A on several edges (five edges or more)?

I have created a style, but the surface is very wavy. What command or method can I use to remove the waves?

 

Thanks

In some cases, an N-sided surface may be acceptable although I would not recommend it as the first option for class A surfacing.

 

To Create a Surface from More Than Four Boundaries (ptc.com)

 

If you are using ISDX (style features) then you should try to use multiple 4 sided surfaces and trim them to get N sided geometry. You also need to ensure that the driving curves used to create the surfaces have the requisite continuity of connection (G0, G1, G2 ...) to enable the desired connection at the surface boundaries.
