Create a straight line in planar or non-planar 3D space. The line can be free in 3D space, tangent to a source curve,
perpendicular to a source curve, normal to the plane in which a source curve lies, fixed to a source curve at one
end, or combined with a source curve. The source curve can be an individual curve or the edge of a surface.
Create trimmed curves by using a set of tool curves to split a set of target curves, keeping only the desired pieces.
You can use this tool to split one self-intersecting curve into multiple pieces.
Create an object containing the section curves of a NURBS surface object. You can specify the direction and the position
of the section planes as well as the number of the planes and the distance between them. This modeling tool maintains
construction history.
Extract isoparametric curves from a surface in the U or V direction. This is useful for creating trim curves that
run along a surface but are not attached to it.
Create polygonal surfaces that can easily be converted into NURBS surfaces. PolyNURBS combines the ease and simplicity
of polygonal modeling with the precision and flexibility of NURBS, allowing you to quickly create free-form solid
geometry that is smooth and continuous.
Measure dimensions, analyze curvature, check for continuity and watertightness, analyze the draft, detect undercuts,
assign tags to entities, edit and visualize streamlines as static images or animations, create design iterations on
the fly, and assign variables.
Dimension a line, edge, bounding box, angle, and radius/diameter in order to create objects which must fit predefined
dimensions. You can also insert a general annotation to label the parts of your model.
Rounded Polyline
Draw a sequence of straight and/or rounded lines.
3D Line
Create a straight line in planar or non-planar 3D space. The line can be free in 3D space, tangent to a source curve, perpendicular to a source curve, normal to the plane in which a source curve lies, fixed to a source curve at one end, or combined with a source curve. The source curve can be an individual curve or the edge of a surface.
Rebuild
Rebuild one or more curves by changing the number of control points, joining multiple curves, or inverting the sequence of the control points.
Split
Create trimmed curves by using a set of tool curves to split a set of target curves, keeping only the desired pieces. You can use this tool to split one self-intersecting curve into multiple pieces.
Divide
Divide a curve into several independent curves.
Edge Extract
Extract curves or edges from one or more objects, making the result a separate, selectable object.
Section Curves
Create an object containing the section curves of a NURBS surface object. You can specify the direction and the position of the section planes as well as the number of the planes and the distance between them. This modeling tool maintains construction history.
Projection
Project one or more curves onto one or more surfaces in a specified direction.
Extract Isoparms
Extract isoparametric curves from a surface in the U or V direction. This is useful for creating trim curves that run along a surface but are not attached to it.
Silhouette
Extract the 2D or 3D silhouette curve of one or more selected objects while maintaining construction history.
