Iso-Curve on Face

Curves
(Part Level)
Use this command to create iso-curves on a
face using a variety of methods. The
curves are independent wireframe features that associated with the face.
The methods
in At Points, At
U/V Parameter and Multiple.
Refer to
the links below.
Use this method to create an iso-curve at the U or V parameter
associated with a point on a face. You can place the curve at the U parameter,
V parameter, or both.
Required Inputs
Face - Select the face from which the U and V curves will be extracted.
The curves
will lie on this face.
Point - Select a point on the face for the isoline to pass through.
Optional Inputs
U or V - Select to create only the U, the V or create both iso-curves.
Use this method to create an iso-curve on a face at the U or V parameter value. You can place the curve at the U parameter, V parameter, or both.
Required Inputs
Face - Select the face from which the U and V curves will be extracted. The curves will lie on this face.
U, V- Enter the U and/or V parameter where the iso-curve(s) will be located.
Optional Inputs
U or V - Select to create only the U, the V or create both iso-curves.
Use this method to create
NxM U and V iso-curves on a face. By default, two U and two V (2x2) iso
curves are created. You can specify the number of U and/or V iso curves
and an offset distance using the command options. This method is helpful
when you need to place a pattern of curves directly on a face.
Required Inputs
Face - Select the face from which the U and V curves will be extracted. The curves will lie on this face.
U number, V number - By default, two U and two V (2x2) iso-curves are created. You can enter a different number of curves for each direction.
Optional Inputs
U Offset, V Offset - Use this option to place the curves at an offset distance from their default location. A negative value will place the curves in the opposite direction. Use the preview echo as a guide. The following example shows a 2x2 UV iso-curve pattern offset 20.00 mm.
