The CSec command creates cross-section curves through profile curves.
Note
● | The cross-section lines must cross all of the profile curves. |
● | For best results, space the cross section curves relatively evenly. |
Steps
1. | Using any curve creation command, draw profile curves that roughly define the shape of your object. |
2. | Select the profile curves. |
3. | Pick the start of a line that will define the cross-section plane that is perpendicular to the current construction plane. Turning on Ortho or Grid Snap may help you control the section planes. |
4. | Pick the end of the cross-section plane. |
5. | In the plane defined at the cross-section line, a curve will be created that passes through the profile curves, and press Enter. Once you have made the cross-section curves, you can use the Loft or other command to create a surface through them. |
Command-line option
Closed=Yes/No
Determines whether closed curves or curves that start at the first profile line and end at the last profile line are created.
