This time, we are going to extend the body surface to make it overlaps with the top surface. You can continue using the model from the previous Bottle’s Surface Modeling tutorial or download the file used in this tutorial by clicking here – Part5 (bottle_05.prt).

1. Open the bottle_05.prt file and resumes the suppressed features. (Skip this step if you are continuing developing from previous Bottle’s Surface Modeling tutorial)

2. At the screen bottom, choose Geometry on the selection filter

3. Next, pick the edge of the body surface as shown below (Swept Blend Surface). Press and hold the ‘Shift’ key and then pick the adjacency edge to select the intend edge.

4. After that, click Edit > Extend to start the Extend tool. Note that without any edge selected, the Extend command will not be activated. 

5. The extended surface should be shown in the light weight preview. Besides, the Extend tool dashboard gives you more control options in the extend tool.

6. The model should look like below by now.
