Curves Workbench

Introduction


The Curves workbench is an External workbench that is python based with a collection of tools for NURBS curves and surfaces. This workbench is developed with FreeCAD Master and OCC 7.4. Note: Some tools may not work with earlier versions.

Installation
Download the Curves workbench via the Addon Manager
