Loft between NURBS surfaces

- [Instructor] At this stage, we have this nice curved surface that we modeled using the NURBS CVs, and it's on the bike center line. It's, these end points are touching this original Polyline. Let's move the NURBS surface up a short distance. I'll move it up let's say just five millimeters, so it's floating above that Polyline now. Then I'll make a mirror copy of that, I'll type MI for mirror, Enter. Select the object, Enter and then snap, let's say to an endpoint of this polyline and then you need to zoom out and move the cursor around so you can preview the different ways that you can mirror it. I'm going to mirror it below, so I'll click over here and choose no, and then you have the opposite version below. Now these NURBS surfaces don't have their boundaries defined, I'd like to show you a simple workaround that you can use to define those boundaries. This workaround involves making a copy of the objects so I'm going to copy these objects off to the side, some memorable distance,…
