(Create U Iso Curve) or
(Create V Iso Curve)
U and V iso curves are dependent curves created from the iso (isoparametric) lines of a NURBS surface. You can use U and V
iso curves to trim surfaces.
Procedures
To create an iso curve:
Interface
Iso Curve rollout (creation time)
- Position
-
Sets the iso curve's position along the U or V axis of the surface.
This parameter is animatable.
Trim Controls group
- Trim
-
When on, trims the surface against the iso curve.
- Flip Trim
-
When on, flips the direction of the trim.
- U Seed / V Seed
-
Change the UV location of the seed value on the surface. If there is a choice of projections, the projection closest to the
seed point is the one used to create the curve.
Iso Curve rollout (modification time)
- Position
-
Sets the iso curve's position along the U or V axis of the surface.

Trim Controls group
- Trim
-
When on, trims the surface against the iso curve.
- Flip Trim
-
When on, flips the direction of the trim.
- U Seed / V Seed
-
Change the UV location of the seed value on the surface. If there is a choice of projections, the projection closest to the
seed point is the one used to create the curve.
- Replace Base Surface
-
Lets you replace the parent surface. Click the button, then click the new surface on which to base the iso curve.
