'Thickening' curves
'Thickening' curves
(OP)
In Siemens NX 9.0 is there a way to make a curve thicker so that it has volume? I want to model the engraving I am going to machine into a part and the best way I can think of modeling the engraving is to create curves on the surface and then somehow add three dimensional volume to the curve so I can perform a Boolean subtract of that solid from the base solid. The surface curves need to be created on freeform surfaces as well as flat, cylindrical or tapered surfaces.
...Thanks in advance.
