Derived Curve command bar

Main Steps

Select Curve Step

Allows you to select the curves or edges that define the new curve you want. You can select one or more curves or edges.

Finish/Cancel

This button changes function as you move through the feature construction process. The Finish button constructs the feature using input provided in the other steps. Once you construct the feature, you can edit it by re-selecting the appropriate step on the command bar. The Cancel button discards any input and exits the command.

Selecting a Curve Options

Single Curve

Specifies that the output curve is single curve. If all the input curves are connected at their endpoints, a single b-spline curve is constructed. When this option is cleared, the derived curve is comprised of multiple elements.  If the input curves are connected, but not tangent, the output curve will have a minimal amount of curvature added so that a single, smooth b-spline curve is constructed.

Select

Sets the method of selecting the elements that define the derived curve.

  • Single—Allows you to select one or more individual elements.

  • Chain—Allows you to select a endpoint connected set of elements by selecting one of the elements in the chain.

Deselect (x)

Clears the selection.

Accept (check mark)

Accepts the selection.

Other command bar Options
