Recreates a curve with the same shape but different mathematical properties.
Curvature – Increase curve definition by inserting edit points in segments with high curvature.
Reduce Spans – Simplify the curve by removing extraneous edit points.
Del Multi Knots – Remove multi-knots from the curve.
Uniform Knots – Convert the curve to uniform parameterization.
Match Knots – Convert the curve to match the parameterization and degree of another curve.
These options appear when Rebuild Type is Curvature.
The amount of deviation from the original curve permitted during the rebuild (in current linear units).
A low number matches the original more exactly, and inserts more points. A high number does not match the original as well, and inserts fewer points.
Absolute – The maximum number of spans in the new curve is equal to Max Spans.
Relative – The maximum number of spans in the new curve is equal to the current number of spans times the Max Spans Factor.
This option appears when Max Spans Type is Absolute.
Specify the maximum number of spans allowed in the new curve, when Max Spans Type is Absolute.
This option appears when Max Spans Type is Relative.
Specify a multiplicative factor. When Max Spans Type is Relative, the maximum number of spans allowed in the new curve is the current number of spans times this factor.
On – Change the degree of the curve as it is rebuilt. A slider appears allowing you to set the degree of the rebuilt curve. Curves on surface, trim curves, and isoparametric curves can only be rebuilt as degree 1 or 3.
Off – Do not change the curve degree.
These settings appear when Rebuild Type is Uniform Knots.
On – Change the number of CVs (and hence of spans) in the rebuilt curve. A slider appears allowing you to set the number of spans.
Off – The number of CVs in the rebuilt curve is equal to the number of CVs in the original.
On – Change the degree of the curve as it is rebuilt. A slider appears allowing you to set the degree of the rebuilt curve. Curves on surface, trim curves, and isoparametric curves can only be rebuilt as degree 1 or 3.
Off – Do not change the curve degree.
After rebuilding, automatically switch to the Smooth tool to allow you to smooth the resulting curve.
Specify an arbitrary surface isoparametric curve to rebuild, rather than a visible one.
Automatically create a Min-Max deviation comb between the original and rebuilt curves.
Automatically update the new curve when the values in the Rebuild Curve window change.
Keep the original curve after creating the rebuilt curve.
