-
From the Surfaces section of the action bar,
click Through Point Curve
.
-
In the
work area,
select points or vertices to be used for the through points curve.
In the
Through Point Curve dialog box, the selected
items are listed in the
Location field. The preview appears in the
work area
as you make selections.
-
To create a closed curve, click
Closed Spline check box.
-
To add a tangency constraint to the first point of the curve, do
the following:
-
Under
Continuity, from the
First point list, select
Tangency.
-
In the
Direction support, select a face or edge
from the
work area.
-
Specify a
Magnitude value for tangency.
-
To add a tangency constraint to the last point of the curve, do
the following:
-
Under
Continuity, from the
Last point list, select
Tangency.
-
In the
Direction support, select a face or edge
from the
work area.
-
Specify a
Magnitude value for tangency.
-
To add both tangency and curvature constraints to the first point
of the curve, do the following:
-
From the
First point list, select
Curvature.
-
In the
Curvature support, select a face or edge
from the
work area.
-
Specify a
Curvature radius value for the radius of
the tangent curvature.
-
To add both tangency and curvature constraints to the last point
of the curve, do the following:
-
From the
Last point list, select
Curvature.
-
In the
Curvature support, select a face or edge
from the
work area.
-
Specify a
Curvature radius value for the radius of
the tangent curvature.
-
To use a support surface, under
Advanced, in the
Projection support, select a face of plane
from the
work area.
-
To edit the curve, do the following:
-
Click a point on the curve.
-
From the context toolbar, click one of the following:
