CurvedShapes Workbench/en

Introduction
Curved Shapes is a FreeCAD external workbench that creates 3D shapes from 2D curves.

Installation
Recommended installation is through the FreeCAD Addon Manager via the

Tools

 * [[Image:CurvedShapes_CurvedArray.svg|24px|link=CurvedShapes_CurvedArray]] CurvedArray: Creates an array and resizes the items in the bounds of one or more hull curves.
 * [[Image:CurvedShapes_CurvedSegment.svg|24px|link=CurvedShapes_CurvedSegment]] CurvedSegment: Interpolates between two 2D curves. The interpolated curves can be resized in the bounds of some hullcurves.
 * [[Image:CurvedShapes_InterpolatedMiddle.svg|24px|link=CurvedShapes_InterpolatedMiddle]] InterpolatedMiddle: Interpolates a 2D shape into the middle between two 2D curves. The base shapes can be connected to a shape with a sharp corner.
 * [[Image:CurvedShapes_SurfaceCut.svg|24px|link=CurvedShapes_SurfaceCut]] SurfaceCut: Cuts a surface to get the outline curve or a face. This tool is similar to [[Image:Part_CrossSections.svg|24px]] Cross-Sections in the [[Image:Workbench_Part.svg|24px]] Part workbench, but it is fully parametric and has an option to reduce the complexity of the output curve. It tries to remove overlapping edges.

Examples

 * [[Image:CurvedShapes_HortenHIX.svg|24px|link=CurvedShapes_HortenHIX]] HortenHIX: A python script that creates the shape of the Horten Ho 229 (also called Horten H IX), a stealth fighter that has been build in Germany in 1944.
 * [[Image:CurvedShapes_FlyingWingS800.svg|24px|link=CurvedShapes_FlyingWingS800]] FlyingWingS800: A python script that creates the shape of a flying wing RC model.
