The ExtrudeCrvAlongCrv command creates a surface by tracing the path of a curve along another path curve.
Steps
- Select a curve.
- Select the path curve.
- A planar curve extrudes vertically to the curve plane by default. If the curve 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
Output
Surface
Create a surface object.
SubD
Create a SubD object.
- SubD friendly curves as the input create a better SubD object.
- Some options may not be available when Output=SubD.
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
Controls whether the original geometry is deleted.
DeleteInput=No supports History.
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.
ToBoundary
Extrude the object to a boundary surface.
SplitAtTangents
Controls whether tangent points on the input curve are extruded as joined edges or as surface kinks on the side surfaces.
