Menu access : Shape | Other shapes | Flat

Description :

Creates a flat surface form a planar closed curve.

General philosophy :

Select a planar closed curve.

Available option(s):

The  NEW CONTOUR  button allows you to directly create a contour.

The button  CONVERT PLANAR SURFACES  allows to recognize a planar surface and to convert it into a "flat shape". The surface must be a "single face b-spline" type.

The option  Section curve= VISIBLE  or  HIDDEN  allows you to keep visible or not the closed curve(s) when creating the flat shape.

The tolerance is used to define the flatness of the contour.

Example(s ):

Flat shape made with several curves.

Specific point(s) :

The curve must be planar and closed.

You can select a text as the planar closed contour.

It's possible to use several curves either included one in another one either disjoined with the "selection" icon .

Available modification(s) :

You can change the tolerance value by using the "modify" function .
