Editing Curves

CurvesKeypoint Curve ToolboxDrag Keypoints [Rhino: no equivalent]

Allows you to move keypoints on keypoint curves.

Curve EditModifyTransform Curve [Rhino: no equivalent]

Provides a direct way of positioning a curve so that it intersects two rail curves by conserving its original shape.

Curve EditModifyStretch [Rhino: no equivalent]

Lets you stretch or reshape a curve by moving handles attached to the curve.

Curve EditModifyAdd Points [Rhino: no equivalent]

Lets you add control points to the end of an existing curve, as if you were still drawing it using the new curve tools.

Curve EditRebuild Curve [Rhino: Rebuild, RebuildCrvNonUniform, MakeUniform, SimplifyCrv, Fair, Smooth, FitCrv and ChangeDegree]

Recreates a curve with the same shape but different mathematical properties.

Curve EditProject Tangent [Rhino: Match]

Allows for the modification of a curve or surface edge to achieve tangency or curvature continuity with a surface, or tangency with a curve intersection. [The Align tool provides similar functionality.]

Curve EditCurve Section [Rhino: Delete Subcurve]

Cuts, trims, or creates new geometry along a number of curves based on a chosen criterion.

Object EditAttachAttach [Rhino: Match Curve]

Joins curves by connecting their endpoints, joins surfaces by connecting the edges, or closes a surface by connecting its opposite edges.

Note:

Attaching curves or surfaces with coincident edges can lead to nodes or tension at the intersection, and should be used with care.

Object EditAttachDetach [Rhino: Subcurve]

Separates a curve or surface into two or more objects at any point.

Object EditInsert [Rhino: no equivalent]

Adds an edit point to a curve, or an edit point isoparametric curve to a surface.

Object EditExtend [Rhino: Extend Curve]

Extends a curve or surface beyond its current endpoint or edge by adding new geometry. A precise value can be entered at the prompt line.

Object EditOffset [Rhino: Offset Curve]

Creates a new object offset a specific distance from an original.

Object EditAlignAlign [Rhino: Match Curve]

Aligns the endpoints/edges of curves and/or surfaces, or interior isoparametric curves.

LocatorsCurve Curvature [Rhino: Curvature Graph]

Adds a locator that shows the curvature or radius comb of a curve.
