Geometric Information - Order by patch
Geometric Information - Order by patch
(OP)
Hello All,
What is the definition of "Order by patch/arc in U" and also for direction V?
I am experimenting with the feature in GSD workbench named "Geometric Information".
This is not the order of curve, as "Number of components in U" gives you the order.
Thanks. Scott

RE: Geometric Information - Order by patch
Number of element gives you the number of subelement like the V4 arc / curve relation.
The Order is the order of the nurbs (sub)element (~ degree of arc in V4)

Thanks for the information. you have confirmed what I was thinking.
As a check to ensure I understand what you are saying.
I create a spline with 6 points, then using the "Geometric Information" function it displays Num of Components = 5.
Therefore number of segments of spline is 5 and order of curve is 6 . . . ?

RE: Geometric Information - Order by patch
you can see that by displaying the control points

Arggh!!
So why state "Order by patch/arc" when this only applies to V4 data?

Close to the geometric analysis in the Analysis menu, you have the Dress-Up option, you can create segmentation and control points for curves and surfaces, but you can t modify these I think.
