Figure 1 shows the creation of a FunctionZ surface. To recreate this surface, select the FunctionZ parameter from the shapeRT drop down menu.

Below the FunctionZ, fill the appropriate functionZ that define the surface. For the example shown above use the equations shown in Figure 2. For the profileRT of the surface choose Rectangular and set the parameters as shown in Figure 2.

The above example is included in the examples folder of the Tonatiuh++ installation directory. A how to video in shown below on how to recreate the above surface.
