Where did it go?
It used to be in the 2D panel.
It's not in the "Edit Elements" menu. I can't find it in the search menu.
Hi AM,
I think this tool has been absorbed in the FE Geom workflow. Essentially you convert the elements to FE Geom, then use the Ruled or Patch tool to make your mesh. Then if you need to refine the mesh use the Rebuild tool or another remeshing tool.
More details on FE Geom:

Thanks.
Hardly what I'd call an improved user experience, but whatever.
I thought that as well when I first started using FE Geom. It's clunky right now with the conversion. But after doing tons of FE Geom modifications with Patch I'm fully on board There's way less clicks when making the mesh.
I look forward to your video tutorial.
I tried the FE Geom method. Fewer clicks you say? Instead of selecting 2 paths of nodes and creating a ruled mesh between them, I had to convert the elements to a surface, then I had to go back and create a ruled surface without any control over the mesh. Then I had to remesh the elements so I could get the mesh I want.

Your mileage may vary but I found it much easier to select edges for the patch tool than to select the nodes by path for the ruled tool. It can get annoying when selecting nodes by path when the path ends up selecting nodes you don't want. Being conservative with path selection means more clicks. I found selecting edges with patch to be less error prone. The extra clicks for converting to FE Geom and using the mesh rebuild tool were a worthy price.
