10.11.36. Render Properties Show Curves Command

The Render (Properties) > Show Curves command is available by right-clicking an object (for example, the hub, shroud or blade surface). Use this command to display curves instead of surfaces. If, in the geometry browser, Input Mode is set to Profile Points or Profile Points With Secondary CAD, then the curves displayed on the blade correspond to the raw curve file data. For other input modes, the curves represent the underlying CAD surfaces.

For curves displayed on the blade that correspond to the raw curve file data, and for the hub and shroud curves, arrowheads are added to show the direction of increasing point index number. The figures below show curves with arrowheads.
