Description[edit | edit source]
The Curves Discretize tool discretizes an edge or a wire and therefore creates a set of points along the edge/wire according to a chosen discretization method.
Usage[edit | edit source]
- Select one or more edges in the 3D view.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the
Discretize button.
- Select the Curves →
Discretize option from the menu.
- Press the
- A Discretized_Edge object is created for each selected edge.
- Optionally edit the values in the Property editor to choose a different discretization method and adjust the related properties (see Properties below).
Properties[edit | edit source]

A Discretized_Edge object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:
Data[edit | edit source]
Discretized
- DataEdge (
LinkSub): Input edge. - DataPoint (
VectorList): Lists the output points. - DataTarget (
Enumeration): Tool target.SingleEdge(default): Discretizes the selected edge only.Wire: Discretizes the whole wire the edge belongs to.
Method
- DataAlgorithm (
Enumeration): Discretization method.Number(default): A number of points that are evenly distributed along the selected edge/wire.QuasiNumber: ...Distance: All points are placed at the same distance to their neighbors apart from the last pair.Deflection: ...QuasiDeflection: ...Angular-Curvature: ...
- DataAngular (
Float): Angular value for Angular-Curvature Algorithm. - DataCurvature (
Float): Curvature value for Angular-Curvature Algorithm. - DataDeflection (
Float): Distance for deflection Algorithm. - DataDistance (
Float): Distance between edge points. - DataMinimum (

Integer): Number of edge points.
Output
- DataNormalized Parameters (
FloatList): Normalized parameters list.
Parameters
- DataParameter First (
Float): Start parameter. - DataParameter Last (
Float): End parameter.
