These lots of work and non-specific questions seems to rotate here since -08 when I joined. My GC friend once answered to this type of Qs "How to model nuclear power station in CAD?". Well because of no answer he did it himself. That's the spirit.

Anyway, I try to help:

Hello Muhammad,

Open a new part, right click on "Command Manager"; I repeat, on Command Manager not in command. There you will get surface tool bar.

I don't have 'surfaces' toolbar in my solidworks. Does it require separate installation?
