... many thanks for the explanations. Win_10_64 FC.21 updated SilkWB version v.0.1.4 : Clicking ControlGrid44_4 and then Rotate (and some other variations) Cant't get the rotate feature working - no reaction. Silk_Rotate.PNG the icons should look like this, so it's clearly missing on yours (the too...

the reason i'm writing tools like these before a tool that makes the inner points directly editable is parametric updating. it is ridiculously easy to allow the parameters to be edited, but then i have to decide what to do if the underlying polys change. i'm considering all kinds of things like sca...

... trying to layout a model yacht's sail with the SilkWB, instead of using scaled profiles under Loft or Gordon. The grid displays a vector and a weight table under DataTab. In other tools you can edit such tables - in Silk it doesn't work ??? Silk_Tabelle_1_k.png It is possible to perform some &q...

as far as i know, the NURBS representation is the real representation of the surface. the whole axis/center/diameter business is a higher level layer that allows us to specify that this NURBS surface is actually mapped exactly to what we call a cylinder. but the cylinder cannot exist (as an actual ...

no, it does work. i had just dug too deep for no reason the first time around can convert cylinder.png as far as i know, the NURBS representation is the real representation of the surface. the whole axis/center/diameter business is a higher level layer that allows us to specify that this NURBS surfa...

...and the few that may have a more direct internal representation not based on NURBS, can be converted to NURBS... well that was wrong in an interesting way[nope. corrected next post], apparently cylinders, and cones, which are absolutely NURBS under the hood, will not return the NURBS version. I ...

another thing to consider is that basically ALL surfaces in FreeCAD are NURBS surfaces. I mean planes, cubes, extrusions, spheres, etc. It's all NURBS under the hood. and the few that may have a more direct internal representation not based on NURBS, can be converted to NURBS. So this new object of ...

... I have some idea, as example there are different implementation of NURBS or similar entities, and probably each one has his requirements, but as example if I don't have Curves WB installed or Curved Shapes WB (only to name two WB that produce BSPlineSurface) if will exist an object present in F...

Very nice. Have you considered sharing the model file? I'm interested in how you structured it. How are you, Edward? I'm pleased to share the file. Your feedback is appreciated. Best regards. nice model, very flexible and stable. It's even more fun since i didn't have to set it all up myself :) i d...
