    I am trying to build a Style feature in Proe.
    I select Style, surface then I select 4 curves (while holding the CRTL
    key). Proe show me the initial surface!
    Now I want to add some internal curves. All is OK if I add one or more
    single curves, but I would add two (or more) single curves as a unique
    internal curve. The Help says to press the SHIFT key, but I am not able
    to do this.

    Thank you for any help

  2. Use shift to chain a curve - add adjacent sections.

    Press crtl > select your curves > if a curve needs to be a chain > move to
    shift > create the chain > return to ctrl.

    Obviously all your curves and curve segments have to satisfy the normal
    requirements for a blended surface - robust connections and relationships.

    I don't understand what do you wrote.
    For instance I have select the four boundary curves. ProE show me the
    initial surface.
    Now I want to add only one internal curve which is composed into two
    part. I select the first part, then I press the SHIFT button and I try
    to select the second one, but I can't.
    Anything happen!
    Can you explain to me how I can chain curves?

  4. Are the chain segments at least tangent? You will not be able to form a non
    tangent chain

    Are you sure they are robustly related?

    Select your outer boundaries using ctrl [and alternating to shift if a chain
    is needed]

    Middle click to finish

    Click the Internal curves icon in the dashboard

    Select your internal curves using ctrl [and alternating to shift if a chain
    is needed]

    Middle click to finish
