Preparing a Curves Network

Context: Curves Network Preparation proposes four zones of interaction:

One toolbar to select actions.
One zone with options specific to the current action.
One zone for the mathematical definition of the current object.
One toolbar with analysis tools.

Create a Geometrical Set and make it the Define In Work Object where the curves are created.
From the Wireframe section of the action bar, click Curves Network Preparation and select a Mesh.
From the first toolbar, select Manage Mesh Map .
A mesh map helps you understand the shape of the mesh. Use it as guide while creating curves.
1. Either select a mesh map from the tree.
2. Or press to create one.
  For more information, see Analyzing the Mesh.
From the same toolbar, create curves:
- Characteristic Lines
  For more information, see Creating Characteristic Lines.
- Curve on Support .
