Description[edit | edit source]

The Curves IsoCurve tool applies a UV oriented lattice onto selected surfaces.

Above: shows the surface before (left) and after (right) applying the tool

Usage[edit | edit source]

  1. Select one or more faces in the 3D view.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the IsoCurve button.
    • Select the Surfaces → IsoCurve option from the menu.
  3. A IsoCurve object is created for each selected face, applying a UV oriented lattice on each face.
  4. Optionally edit the values in the Property editor to change the numbers of iso curves along U and V directions and adjust the related properties (see Properties below).

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Curves can be extracted as a subelement (e.g: with Curves JoinCurves) for others uses or just to help to visualize the shape.

Properties[edit | edit source]

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