CST2013: Blend Curve

Modeling: CurvesCurve ToolsBlend Curve

In this dialog box you can specify the radius of the blend applied to a curve at a previously picked point. The corresponding menu or toolbar items will only be active if a curve or a curve item has been selected before. After activating the blend operation, an interactive mode will be entered where a point needs to be picked from the curve.

The blend operation will then modify the curve items connected to the selected point and create a new item which actually represents the blend. The blend item can be identified by a unique name, e.g. for subsequent editing operations.

As soon as the blend is defined it will appear in the main plot window and on the navigation tree.

The picture below shows a blend applied to a corner of a rectangle:

OK

Press this button to finally apply the blend.
