FromB-Splines

 

Surface from B-Splines

A surface is built using each selected B-Spline in the order of selection. Only 2 B-splines are required and the length of the B-Splines will be used to control the surface extents. The direction of the B-splines are also very important so it may helps to show the arrow heads for the curves.

 

Surface from Plane and Closed B-Spline

Projects selected closed B-spline to selected plane and creates a surface from the projection.

 

Surface from B-Spline Rotated about Object

This option offers the ability to revolve a surface about an object axis using a reference b-spline. It will prompt the user for the axis to use for rotation (X-axis shown below) and the extent of rotation from 0-360.

 

Surface from B-Spline Swept along another B-Spline

This command can perform simple to complex sweep operations. It requires selection of a B-Spline as the defining shape (open or closed) and a second B-Spline as the guide curve.

 

 

Tubular Surface from B-Spline

This command builds a tube defined by the selected b-spline axis. The user is prompted to select a desired Tube diameter and will build a circular tube of that diameter following the curve.

 

Fit from Bounding Curves and internal Points

Use for B-splines that bound a set of point groups and are used to create a surface
