Curve Ends

  The Curve Ends option allows you to select a curve to create points at the 2 ends of the curve. Specify whether the selected curve is Bspline or Faceted.

For Bspline curves the following options are available.

Curve(s)

Click the icon and select the curve(s).

How

  • Both

    This option creates two points at the ends of the curve. The point at the start of the curve (parameter = 0) will be named by default "pnt.01" and the end point (parameter = 1) will be named "pnt.02".

  • Min or Max coordinates

    These options will create a point at the location along the curve at the specified minimum or maximum coordinate. For example, if the xmin option is selected, the point along the curve with the minimum X coordinate will be created.


    Note:  If xmin = xmax for a curve, xmin will be created at the starting point of the curve and xmax at the end point. This command creates end points and not the peak points of the entire curve.


For Faceted curves, the following options are available.

Curve(s)

Click the icon and select the curve(s).

Angle for curves

Allows you to extract points only for curves with angles greater than the specified angle.
