Creating Corners

You can create corners.

This task shows you how to:


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

Create a Corner on a Support

You can create a rounded corner between two curves on a defined support.

  1. In the Type list, select Corner on support .
  2. In the work area, select a curve as the first reference element.
    The name of the selected geometry appears in the Element 1 box.
  3. Select a second curve.
    The name of the selected geometry appears in the Element 2 box.
  4. Optional: Select a surface or a plane to modify the default support.
  5. In the Radius box, specify a value.
    In the 3D area, a preview of the corner appears.
    Tip: If there are several possible designs, click Next solution to display and select another design.
  6. Validate .

    On the defined support, a corner is created between the two selected elements.

Tips:
  • Click Trim element to trim and assemble the two reference elements to the corner.
  • Select Corner on vertex to create a corner on a vertex. To do so, you can either select a point or a curve as reference.

Create a 3D Corner

You can create a 3D corner between two curves.

  1. In the Type list, select 3D Corner .
  2. In the work area, select a curve as the first reference element.
    The name of the selected geometry appears in the Element 1 box.
  3. Select a second curve.
    The name of the selected curve appears in the Element 2 box.
  4. Optional: Modify the default direction.
  5. In the Radius box, specify a value.
    In the 3D area, a preview of the corner appears.
    Tip: If there are several possible designs, click Next solution to display and select another design.
  6. Validate .
    According to the defined direction, a corner is created between the two selected elements.

Tips:
  • Click Trim element to trim and assemble the two reference elements to the corner.
  • Select Corner on vertex to create a corner on a vertex. To do so, you can either select a point or a curve as reference.
