Description

The Curves IsoCurve tool applies a UV oriented lattice onto selected surfaces.

Above: shows the surface before (left) and after (right) applying the tool

Usage

1. Select one or more faces in the 3D view.
2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
   • Press the IsoCurve button.
   • Select the Surfaces → IsoCurve option from the menu.
3. A IsoCurve object is created for each selected face, applying a UV oriented lattice on each face.
4. Optionally edit the values in the Property editor to change the numbers of iso curves along U and V directions and adjust the related properties (see Properties below).

Notes

• Curves can be extracted as a subelement (e.g: with Curves JoinCurves) for others uses or just to help to visualize the shape.

Properties

A IsoCurve object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:
