Description

The Curves ReflectLines tool creates the reflect lines on a shape, according to a view direction.

Usage

1. Select an object.
2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
   • Press the Reflect Lines button.
   • Select the Surfaces → Reflect Lines option from the menu.
3. If the selected object is not a ReflectLines object a ReflectLines object is created.
4. The view direction of the ReflectLines object will be set according to the current camera direction.
5. Optionally edit the values in the Property editor to choose the lines to be created, and where they are placed and also adjust the related properties (see Properties below).

Notes

• If the DataOn Shape property is true, the lines will be ON the input shape (DataView Pos and DataUp Dir properties won't be used).
  Otherwise, lines will be on the XY plane.
• If the ViewTrackCamera property is true, the view direction will keep updating upon camera movements.

Properties

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

View

AutoView

• ViewTrackCamera (Bool): Track camera movements

Data

Cleaning Options

• Data (Hidden)Cleaning Tolerance (Quantity): Cleaning Tolerance for duplicate detection.
• DataRemove Duplicates (Bool): Remove duplicate edges.
• Data (Hidden)Samples (Integer): Number of edge samples.

Edge Type

• DataIso Line (Bool): Isoparametric lines.
• DataOut Line (Bool): Outline silhouette lines.
• DataRg1 Line (Bool): smooth edge of G1-continuity between two surfaces.
• DataRgN Line (Bool): sewn edge of CN-continuity on one surface.
• DataSharp (Bool): sharp edge (of C0-continuity).

Reflect Lines

• DataIndiv Faces (LinkSubList): Individual faces.
• DataOn Shape (Bool): Output on-shape 3D lines.
• DataSource (Link): Source object.
• Data (Hidden)Up Dir (Vector): Up direction.
• DataView Dir (Vector): View direction.
• Data (Hidden)View Pos (Vector): View position.
• DataVisible (Bool): Generate the visible lines, or the hidden lines.
