Description[edit | edit source]

The Curves BlendSolid tool creates a solid between two edges with some continuity with their support shapes.

Usage[edit | edit source]

  1. Select two faces of different solids.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the BlendSolid button.
    • Select the Surfaces → BlendSolid option from the menu.
  3. A Blend_Solid object is created.
  4. Optionally edit the values in the Property View to choose a different auto scale method and adjust the related properties (see Properties below).

Properties[edit | edit source]

A Blend_Solid object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data[edit | edit source]

Base

  • DataSources (LinkSubList): Faces to join.

Continuity

  • DataContinuity1 (Integer): Continuity order G... with shape 1.
  • DataContinuity2 (Integer): Continuity order G... with shape 2.

Scale

  • DataAuto Scale (Enumeration): Compute scale values to get regular poles, or minimal curvature.
    • RegularPoles (default): ...
    • MinimizeCurvature: ...
    • Manual: ...
  • DataScale1 (FloatList): Scale values along face 1.
  • DataScale2 (FloatList): Scale values along face 2.
  • DataScale Samples (Integer): Number of samples for auto scaling.

Settings

  • DataFuse (Bool): Fuse the 3 solids together.
  • DataSamples (Integer): Number of samples to generate each surface.

Status

  • DataShape Type (String): Status of the created shape.
