Bridge Curves
Bridge Curves
(OP)
Can someone please provide an example of using the constraint faces option within a bridge curve
To me the help file does not explain its use very well.
Thanks

RE: Bridge Curves
I wish to draw a smooth curve, as shown in the picture below, from one edge to another while making sure that the curve lies on the blended face.
I've also attached the part as seen above so that you can try it yourself as to what happens when you edit the Bridge Curve and deselect the blend face as the Constraint Face.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
RE: Bridge Curves
Great example; thanks for sharing. This is a very useful functionality...

The 'Constraint Face' is not limited to a single face, as long as the are smooth and have no reversals in convexity.

RE: Bridge Curves
By the way, how do you attach images in the body of your posts? Sorry if this is obvious, but I looked around for a while to figure this out and haven't found the answer yet. I know how to attach files; just don't know how to have the images show up in the post text body.

About a 3rd of the way down the page you will find the section which describes how to embed images.
Anyway, have fun.

RE: Bridge Curves
curves on surfaces(for many years), and never realize that there is a much easier way.
Thank you so much for this John.
I feel like a noob!
RE: Bridge Curves
Any new information in that regard would also interest me.

RE: Bridge Curves
that explains it much better than the help files. You know I wish the help files would be better in general and provide more examples of all the functionality of the tools.
