In the following video, we will explore this feature and how you can convert selected faces into SubD surfaces. We will also demonstrate how to perform organic modifications like moving ribs and creating bridges that would not be possible with regular solid geometry.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"vidyard_iframe\" src=\"\/\/play.vidyard.com\/goJksVJ28VKa86dz2JiPdB.html?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-196945\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Region_To_SubD_AIS_Tile_AOS-300x237.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Region_To_SubD_AIS_Tile_AOS-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Region_To_SubD_AIS_Tile_AOS-768x608.png 768w, https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Region_To_SubD_AIS_Tile_AOS-24x19.png 24w, https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Region_To_SubD_AIS_Tile_AOS-36x28.png 36w, https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Region_To_SubD_AIS_Tile_AOS-48x38.png 48w, https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Region_To_SubD_AIS_Tile_AOS.png 1007w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-196720","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-conceptual-modeling","topic-tag-freeform-design","topic-tag-organic-modeling","topic-tag-region-to-subd","topic-tag-subd-modelling","topic-tag-subdivision-surfaces","filter-by-application-discovery","filter-by-application-discovery-explore","filter-by-application-discovery-refine"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_edit_lock":["1761922866:17114"],"_edit_last":["3452"],"_aioseo_title":[null],"_aioseo_description":[null],"_aioseo_keywords":["a:0:{}"],"_aioseo_og_title":[null],"_aioseo_og_description":[null],"_aioseo_og_article_section":[""],"_aioseo_og_article_tags":["a:0:{}"],"_aioseo_twitter_title":[null],"_aioseo_twitter_description":[null],"filter_by_optics_product":["Lumerical"],"_filter_by_optics_product":["field_64fb192ba3121"],"application_name":[""],"_application_name":["field_64a80903c8e15"],"family":[""],"_family":["field_64a809229a857"],"siebel_km_number":[""],"_siebel_km_number":["field_63ecbffce60db"],"salesforce_km_number":[""],"_salesforce_km_number":["field_63ecc018e60dc"],"km_published_date":[""],"_km_published_date":["field_64c77704499dd"],"product_version":[""],"_product_version":["field_64c776cb4fd2e"],"_bbp_forum_id":["159543"],"_bbp_topic_id":["196946"],"_bbp_author_ip":["103.191.204.136"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["0"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["196722"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-06-12 13:44:24"],"_bbp_reply_count":["0"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1290"],"_bbp_likes_count":["1"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/196720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/196720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":196946,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/196720\/revisions\/196946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
