, [blendFactor=float], [constructionHistory=boolean], [curveOnSurface=boolean], [name=string], [object=boolean], [polygon=int], [range=boolean], [rebuild=boolean], [replaceOriginal=boolean], [sweepStyle=int], [tangentContinuityProfile1=boolean], [tangentContinuityProfile2=boolean], [transformMode=int])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
doubleProfileBirailSurface is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command builds a railed surface by sweeping profile "profile1" along the
two given rail curves "rail1", "rail2" until "profile2" is reached. By using
the -blend control, the railed surface creation could be biased more towards
one of the two profile curves. The curves ( both profiles and rails ) could
also be surface curves ( isoparams, curve on surfaces ). If the profile curves
are surface curves the surface constructed could be made tangent continuous to
the surfaces underlying the profiles using the flags -tp1, -tp2 respectively.
Current Limitation: Its necessary that the two profile curves intersect the
rail curves for successful surface creation.

Properties |
blendFactor(bl)
|
float
|
 
|
|
A blend factor applied in between the two profiles.
The amount of influence 'inputProfile1' has in the surface creation.
Default: 0.5
In query mode, this flag needs a value.
|
|
tangentContinuityProfile1(tp1)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Need tangent continuity across the input profile at inputProfile1.
Default: false

tangentContinuityProfile2(tp2)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Need tangent continuity across the input curve at inputProfile2.
Default: false
In query mode, this flag needs a value.
|
|
sweepStyle(ss)
|
int
