allows you to bonding two surfaces together. Surface bonding can be seen as
gluing two identical edges together. Maxsurf

In order to get two identical edges, both edges need to have:
§ The same number of control points
§ The same degree of stiffness
If either of the above is different, then both edges can by definition not have the same shape which would result in gaps between the surfaces.
Two edges with matching control points, but different stiffness. This causes gaps to appear between the surfaces.
Maxsurf checks that both edges have the same stiffness and number of control points prior to bonding and will notify you if the edges cannot be bonded together:
After you have bonded two surfaces, Maxsurf will make sure that the surfaces that share the bonded edge are treated more or less as one and apply any changes to one surface to the other bonded surface as well. For example when adding a control point to the edge:
In this section you will bond several surfaces together and learn about the different bonding types you can apply. You will also learn that the duplicate surfaces command is a quick way to ensure that both surface edges share the same properties.
