    ?! Please help me with this surface problem.

    I'm still basically a beginner, but I know this shouldn't be...when I choose the two arcs for Direction 1 selections, the preview shows four very nice curvature combs how the surface will follow the contour of the arcs. But when I actually execute the boundary surface, it appears well below the arcs. What am I doing wrong?

    In the Options menu, click on the Document Properties tab, go to Image Quality and at the top there is a slider that changes the shading resolution. This setting controls the visual properties of surfaces and bodies. There is nothing wrong with your surface, it is strictly visual and if you are working with large assemblies, models with large number of complex surfaces, etc... a graphics card that does not meet recommended requirements, then you may want to turn the slider down to minimize redraw time and decrease file size. You can change this setting anytime you want.
