Along Curve

 History enabled

The ExtrudeSrfAlongCrv command creates a solid by tracing the path of the surface edges along another path curve.

Steps

  1. Select a surface.
  2. Select the path curve near the start.
  • A planar surface extrudes vertically to the surface plane by default. If the surface is not planar, the default extrusion direction is the z direction of the active CPlane.

  • The extrusion preview direction in the viewport defines the positive direction for distance input.

Command-line options

Solid

If the profile curve is closed and planar, both ends of the extruded object are filled with planar surfaces and joined to make a closed polysurface.

DeleteInput
Yes

Deletes the original geometry.

No

Retains the original geometry.

SubCurve

Extrudes a curve the distance specified by picking two points along a curve.

The extruded surface starts from the beginning of the curve, not the first picked point. Picking the points only establishes the extrusion distance.

Subcurve steps

  1. Select the path curve.
  2. Pick a start along the path curve.
  3. Pick an end along the path curve.

ToBoundary

Extrudes the object to a boundary surface.
