Introduction

After you create a single fit, it can be useful to create multiple fits to compare. When you create multiple fits you can compare different fit types and settings side-by-side in the Surface Fitting Tool.

Fitting Additional Surfaces

After creating a fit, you can add an additional surface using either of these methods:

• Click the New Fit toolbar button.

• Select Fit > New Fit.

Each additional fit appears as a new tab in the Surface Fitting Tool and a new row in the Table of Fits. See Comparing Surface Fits for information about displaying and analyzing multiple fits.

Optionally, after you create an additional fit, you can copy your data selections from a previous fit by selecting Fit > Use Data From > Other Fit Name. This copies your selections for x, y, and z from the previous fit, and any selected validation data. No fit options are changed.
