CATIA Surface Modeling | How to Combine two Sketches

The Savvy Engineer

The Combine feature in CATIA’s Generative Shape Design (GSD) workbench is an essential tool for shaping, refining, and controlling surface geometry. It allows designers to merge, intersect, or trim surfaces in order to create smooth transitions and unified shapes. This feature is particularly valuable in industries that rely on complex surface modeling—such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial design—because it provides the precision needed to form continuous and aesthetically consistent surfaces.

Sketch plane: When editing the sketch plane, you can move your sketches from one plane to another. This is a great trick to know when you change your mind and decide that a sketch should be on a different face or plane. Simply edit the sketch plane to relocate the sketch instead of recreating it.

Sketch contours enable you to use contours from a sketch for multiple features. When using Sketch Contours, you are not limited to one sketch per feature. An entire sketch, or just pieces of it, can be used multiple times enabling you to quickly create many features.

Patterning and mirrors are some of the best time-saving tools in SOLIDWORKS. With pattern and mirror, we can reuse the sketch geometry to spread across our part rather than manually creating the same sketch geometry over and over.
