Description

The Curves JoinCurve tool joins selected edges into a B-spline curve.

Usage

1. Select one or more edges in 3D view.
2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
   • Press the joinCurves button.
   • Select the Curves → joinCurves option from the menu..
3. A JoinCurve object is created.
4. Optionally edit the values in the Property editor to select a different parametrization method and adjust the related properties (see Properties below).

Notes

• Edges of a shape, or edges selected from a sketch are accepted and must be added in a consecutive order.
• The result is a single continuous B-spline.

Properties

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

Data

InputSources

• DataBase (Link): Join all the edges of this base object.
• DataEdges (LinkSubList): List of edges to join.

Join

• DataCornerBreak (Bool): Break on sharp corners.
• DataForceClosed (Bool): Force closed curve.
• DataForceContact (Bool): Force connection of edges.
• DataReverse (Bool): Reverse the output curve.
• DataStartOffset (Integer): Set the start point of closed curve.
• DataTolerance (Float): Tolerance.

ShapeApproximation

• DataActive (Bool): Use approximation.
• Data (Hidden)ApproxTolerance (Float): Approximation tolerance.
• Data (Hidden)Continuity (Enumeration): Desired continuity of the curve. (C0, C1, G1, C2, G2, C3 (default), CN)
• Data (Hidden)DegreeMax (Integer): Maximum degree of the curve.
• Data (Hidden)DegreeMin (Integer): Minimum degree of the curve.
• DataExtensionProxy (PythonObject): Proxy object of the approximation extension.
• Data (Hidden)Parametrization (Enumeration): Parametrization type.
  • ChordLength: ...
  • Centripetal: ...
  • Uniform: ...
• Data (Hidden)Samples (Integer): Number of samples.
