Description
The Sketcher CreatePeriodicBSpline tool creates a periodic (closed) B-spline curve from control points. See this page for more information about B-splines.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Periodic B-spline by control points button.
- Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create periodic B-spline option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: G then B, then P.
- For further steps see Sketcher CreateBSpline.
