Creating Combined Curves

The Combine command lets you create a curve resulting from the intersection of the extrusion of two curves.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing two curves.

Create a Normal Combined Curve

You can create a 3D curve by combining two planar curves lying on different planes. The virtual extrusion is computed as normal to the curve planes.

In the list, select Normal to curve .
Successively select two curves to be combined.
The combine curve is the intersection curve between the extrusion of the selected curves in virtual perpendicular planes.
Validate .

You can create a combined curve along specified directions. You need to specify the extrusion direction for each curve.

In the list, select Along a direction .
Successively select two curves to be combined.
The combine curve is the intersection curve between the extrusion of the selected curves in virtual perpendicular planes.
