Through Curves / Start point of curves
Through Curves / Start point of curves
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm trying to make a Through curve mesh feature about 5 profiles. Is there any way that the start point of individual sections can be changed? I know there is the By points option, but the command will be much useful if the start point of curves can be changed.
Thx in advance

RE: Through Curves / Start point of curves
could you please send us an image of the profiles if possible? If your profile consists of a number of curves then you can do a SINGLE SELECTION to select that entity first through which you wish to control the origin.For instance if it is a rectangle then you can fiddle with the origin by selecting these lines selectively.But still i donot wish to generalize my statement untill and unless i catch a glimpse of your profiles
Thanks and Best Regards

Anyway thanks for ur reply.
RE: Through Curves / Start point of curves
It would help further if you uploaded an example, either picture or model.
Getting the start curve/ position correct is in most cases a matter of selecting the curves consistently.
There is in NX 7.5 an option to re-define the starting curve in a selected string, depending on the topology of the string, - Open or closed.
See attached image. I do not remember when it was implemented.

In addition to Toost's comments about redefining starting curves, you always have the option (in all versions of NX that I've used) to Deselect (Shift + Select or MB1) a string or strings from the set and either reorder their selection or even add new strings to the set. It's easier to do so with the re-vamped TC and TCM commands (since at least NX4-5).
