Tooltip: SurfBySweeping
Creates a surface from a set of planar curves (such as curves on plate edges) and optional path curves.
The cross-section curves:
-
Must be planar, but do not need to be coplanar
-
Must be oriented in the same direction to avoid a twist in the surface
-
Must each have the same number of vertices
-
Can be open or closed
-
Can touch at some vertices
The paths curves:
-
Do not need to be planar
-
Must touch the cross-section curves unless there is only one path curve
-
Must each have the same number of vertices
The following example shows planar cross-sections curves swept along two path curves:
The following example shows planar cross-sections curves touching at end vertices, and swept along a single path curve:
The following example shows closed cross-sections swept along two path curves. A capping surface is created on the left end:
Required Input Planar curves Optional Input Path curves Parameter Capping faces |
Output Surface Capping surface at one or both ends |
