Bottle
Menu access: Shape | Other shapes | Bottle.
Description:
Allows you to create a "bottle surface"using two longitudinal sections and n (>=1) transversal sections.
General philosophy:
Select the axis of the bottle shape.
Select the two longitudinal sections.
Select the transversal sections.
Confirm with OK .
Available option(s):
When curves are closed, you can choose
the type of shape to create with the option Type=
SOLID or
SURFACE
TYPE . When you choose the solid type, the created shape will be
solid if possible. If not, not any message will appear.
The option Curves=
VISIBLE or
HIDDEN
allows
you to keep visible or not the curves after the bottle is created.
The option 
allows
you to choose the type of synchronization
between the curves.
The list 
allows you
to choose the correspondence
between the curves
Example(s):
The longitudinal sections are represented in blue.
The transversal sections s are represented in red.
In this example, the longitudinal sections do not intersect the transversal sections. Then, the bottle shape follows the curvature of the longitudinal sections but goes through the transversal sections.
Specific point(s):
The longitudinal sections:
They must be planar and coplanar with the axis.
The planes must be orthogonal.
They must not be shorter than the distance between the two extreme transversal section, but they can be longer. The shape will not be computed if one is shorter.
They can end on a same points. In this case, the
bottle shape will be degenerated. 
The transversal sections:
They must be planar and orthogonal to the axis.
They must be all open or all closed.
If the transversal sections are closed and intersect the longitudinal sections, the origins must be on the same plan for the bottle shape goes through the transversal sections. You can visualize and modify the origin of a curve by using the function Curve | Origin.
The section can be given on a any
order.
Available modification(s):
You can change the synchronisation,
the correspondence and the type by using the icon 
.
