About Constraints for Curve from Scan

Here are listed some possible constraints for Curve from Scan.

  • n= the option is not selected.
  • y= the option is selected.
Constrain this PointImpose TangencyConstrain on ElementEdit TangentCalloutMeaningExample
nnnNot availableFreeThe extremity is free.

ynnNot availableFixed The extremity is fixed, it is the scan extremity (this is the option by default).

ynyNot available Fixed on element If the element is a point, the extremity of the curve is this point, not the scan extremity.



If the element is a curve, the curve extremity is the nearest extremity of the constraining curve.



If the element is a plane, the curve extremity is the point of the plane nearest to the scan extremity.



yynAvailable Fixed and tangent The tangency direction is given by a vector going through the first (or the last) two points of the scan.

yyyAvailable Fixed and tangent on element The extremity is fixed and tangent to the constraining element.

nnyNot available Free on element The extremity is free and depends on the element.

nynAvailable Free and tangent The extremity is free. The tangency direction is given by a vector going through the first (or the last) two points of the scan.

nyyAvailable Free and tangent on element The extremity is free and depends on the element. The tangency direction is given by the element (plane or curve).
