   Note: A sketch plane for the wall is created and visualized as a blue square.
5. Create the curve by placing control points.
   • To close the curve, drag the first and last points together. The surface is automatically created when the curve is closed.
   • To keep the curve open, place control points, and then right-click to confirm.
   Note: If the wall overlaps the part, a red line will appear.
