Geometric Information - Order by patch

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

Hi,

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)

Eric N,
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

yes,

you can see that by displaying the control points

Don't have the FREESTYLE license.
Arggh!!

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

RE: Geometric Information - Order by patch

may be you can read segment instead of arc/patch...

Hi,

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.
