Extrapolating Geometry
Extrapolating Curves
Extrapolate
lets you extrapolate a curve.
Before you begin:
Create a 3D shape containing a curve.
In the
Boundary
box, select an endpoint on a curve.
Optional:
In the
Extrapolated
box, select the curve to be extrapolated.
Note:
This step is only required if the command is unable to automatically compute the curve or if you want to manually select it.
In the
Limit at boundary
frame, select the extrapolation type in the
Type
list.
In the
Continuity
list, select the continuity.
Tangent
: The curve and the extrapolation are connected with tangent continuity at the selected endpoint.
Curvature
: The curve and the extrapolation are connected with curvature continuity at the selected endpoint.
Optional:
In the
Second limit
frame, select the extrapolation type and value for the other curve end.
The curve is extrapolated individually at each end.
Note:
When both sides are extrapolated, the
Assemble result
check box is selected and grayed out.
Click
OK
.
Note:
Select the
Assemble result
check box to assemble the extrapolated curve with the original curve.
