Perpendicular
Menu access: Shape | Other shapes | Perpendicular
Description:
Allows you to create a surface perpendicular to an existing surface relatively to a curve or isoparametric of this surface.
General philosophy:
Select the reference surface.
Select the start of the perpendicular surface (ISO or CURVE).
Give the length of the perpendicular surface and valid with OK .
Available option(s):
There is two type of origin to buid
the tangent surface:
|
ISO |
You need to indicate the parameter (between 0 and 1) that define the position of the isoparametric on the surface depending on the U or V chosen direction. |
|
CURVE |
You need to select the reference curve. |
It's possible to invert the created
surface direction by using the INVERT
DIRECTION button.
Example(s):
|
|
Perpendicular surface (yellow) using an ISO (red):
|
|
|
Perpendicular surface (yellow) using a CURVE. |
Specific point(s):
The selected isoparametric is displayed
on the reference surface.
The choice of the isoparametric has
a great influence when using the curve option.
If the surface is not created,
you can reduce the perpendicular surface length. In some cases, the surface
to create would be auto intersecting and TopSolid doesn't allow you to
create such surfaces that wouldn't be possible to machine. Available modification(s):
Available modification(s):
By using the icon 
,
you can:
Invert the direction.
Change the surface length.
Change the reference isoparametric value.
