Curve >> Create >> Feature Curves

• Curve >> Create >> Feature Curves command creates the curves with the features of the shell.

Step   

Execute Curve >> Create >> Feature Curves command as follows:

1. Select Curve >> Create >> Feature Curves from the menu or click the corresponding icon from the Curve toolbar.

The following dialog box appears:

       

During this period, if a user right-click, the following shortcut menu appears:

       

If "Discard Curve" is clicked, a user can pick accepted curves in order not to make them the candidates of feature curves; if "Accept Curves" is clicked, a user can pick curves created from feature calculation in order to make them candidates of feature curves; if "Accept All Curves" is clicked, all the curves created from feature calculation are automatically made candidates of feature curves; if "Discard All Curves" is clicked,  all the accepted curves become non-candidate of feature curves; with "Interactive Connection" commend, user can connect candidates of feature curves, if "Pick Radius Points" is clicked, a user can pick two points in order to use their radius as the "Feature Radius".

Feature curves whose radius is less than inputted "Feature Radius" are created.

If "Use Shell Curvature" option is checked, the shell curvature is applied. 

If "Create Sharp Edge" option is checked, virtual sharp edge will be created.

If "Extend & Trim Curves" option is checked, the found curves are extended to be trimmed with neighbor curves.

If "Quick Mode" option is checked, rapidform searchs the feature curve in a Quick Mode. Because feature curve detection is CPU intensive operation, it is very useful to try Quick Mode if the model's feature line is not so complex.

2. Click OK when all parameters are inputted.
