Free Form Curves
To create a free-form curve on surface of an object:
- Select Advanced > Edit > Line in context menu of the component (right mouse
click). Or: Click into the window of the component to make sure it has focus and
press 'l' key (for line).
- Make a mouse stroke to draw a line. After
the mouse is released the curve will be applied to the surface under the
stroke
- If required, change point of view by using rotation/pan/zoom and repeat
steps 2 and 3 to extend the line
The line can be closed (ends nearly coincide) or open.
The curve will be added to the model as the last top-level object of type
Line Strip
Color of the mouse stroke and the resulting curve can be modified
programmatically using the MouseStrokeColor
property of the DG Kernel component. Color of the resulting curve can also
be modiied by getting acces to the Line Strip
Entity
which represents it in the model.
