Adding Curvature to a Block Edge

To add curvature to a block edge:

  1. Click the Select Block Edge tool guide .
  2. Select a block edge. A vertex is added where you clicked and the edge is snapped to the geometry (curve).Click and drag to position the vertex interactively.
  3. Continue to add vertices as required.

In the Block Edge Shape options panel, you may set the following options:

  • Enable Auto Shape to position the interior vertex, or vertices, optimally. If disabled, a single vertex is positioned at the click position.

  • Linear will snap the interior vertex (vertices) to the geometry and connect the new vertex (vertices) to existing vertices with straight line segments.

    If Auto Shape is enabled, multiple vertices are created with spacing set by mesh sizing. If disabled, a single vertex is added at the click position.

  • Spline will snap the interior vertex (vertices) to the geometry and connect the new vertex (vertices) to existing vertices with curved line segments.

    If Auto Shape is enabled, a single new vertex is positioned at the midpoint of the selected edge. If disabled, it is positioned at the click position.
