# Overlapped Surface

![CmdOverlappedCADSurface.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CmdOverlappedCADSurface.svg)

This command is used to create an overlapped surface on a mesh. This can be useful if you have a mesh with holes and want to fit only one CAD surface on it.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select the mesh and launch the command.

1. Define the normal direction of the created surface: **Automatic** (best plane of the object) or **User defined**.
2. A planar surface will appear. The dimensions will be automatically computed to cover all the mesh.
3. You can modify parameters of the planar surface:
  1. The number of **control points** along **U and V direction**.
  2. The **size** of the surface along **U and V direction**.
