Surface Variable Fillet/Chamfer/Blend > Variable Blend Surfaces |
The VariableBlendSrf command creates a blend surface between edges of intersecting surfaces with varying radius values, trims the original surfaces faces, and joins the resulting surfaces.
Infinite Plane: Type IP for InfinitePlane options.
The Radius and Distance options appear on the command line when you drag a handle grip.
Radius/Distance options | |
---|---|
FromCurve |
Select a curve. The radius of the curve at the picked location will be used. |
FromTwoPoints |
Pick two points to show the radius distance. |
Handle options | |
AddHandle |
Adds a handle along the edges. |
CopyHandle |
Adds a new handle using the distance from the selected handle. |
RemoveHandle |
Visible only when at least one handle has been added. |
SetAll |
Sets the distance or radius for all handles. |
LinkHandles |
Editing a single handle updates all handles. |
Only added handles can be removed.
The default handles at the ends of each open edge segment cannot be moved or deleted. This is the minimum information the command needs in order to work.
The handle at the end of a single closed edge can be moved but not deleted.
If a radius is set larger than the edge radius at the handle location, the handle changes to dark red and displays the edge radius. It is the maximum radius allowed at the handle location. In the case below, a radius larger than 3.102 units will fail.
RailType options | |
---|---|
DistFromEdge |
The distance from the edge curves determines the intersection. |
RollingBall |
The radius of a rolling ball determines the intersection. |
DistBetweenRails |
The distance between the edge rails determines the intersection. |
TrimAndJoin |
Trims and joins the resulting surface to the input surfaces. History only works if TrimAndJoin=No. |
Preview |
Displays a dynamic preview. You can change the options and the preview will update. |
