Creates curves-on-surface from a single-plane cross-section.
Contour Control
-
-
The 3D coordinates of the origin of the plane which intersects the surfaces to create curves-on-surface.
You can set this origin with the contour manipulator when you use the tool.
-
-
-
-
The vector perpendicular to the plane.
You can set this vector with the contour manipulator when you use the tool.
-
-
Enter the name of a point/vector/plane to position/align the manipulator with it. (You can also click a point/vector/plane to align the Contour manipulator with it. Or you can select
the point/vector/plane and the surface before selecting the tool.)
Control Options
-
-
Save the history of the new curves-on-surface for later editing. If you turn on, you can modify the surfaces and the curves-on-surface update.
-
-
Update the curves-on-surface as you change the values in the window.
Buttons
-
-
When . is off, use this button to update the curves on surface to correspond to the current options.
-
-
Undo all the changes made by the tool and return to the original surface.
-
-
Finish creating curves-on-surface on the current surface and prompt for a new surface to evaluate.
