Abstract.

A method for passing a smooth surface through cross-sectional curves is presented. Cross-boundary derivatives across the first and the last cross-sections, and rail curves along which the section curves are positioned can be specified. Interpolation of the rail curves and G 1 or C 1 across the first and last cross-sections can be enforced.
