Curves workbench

Trimmed Face doesn't work here. (the joinCurve was forced close)
And Z picked point still at 0.

How to create wing surface from root / tip profiles and top/front projections (views)?

[Vincent B]

Your base curves are usable with CurvedArray of CurvesShape WB.
Have a look there.

Yes, I know that

I want to study Curves workbench because it seems to be more flexible.
CurvedShapes WB has some limitations and simplification - for example, you are not able to make wing with different profiles on root and tip, as it usually done on real wings.
I feel that this Curves WB can.

Hi Chris,
I miss the line tool, which creates a line between two points. In the current Curves Workbench it is unfortunately no longer included.
Many greetings

I just restored it.
But I wonder why you would need it ?
The "editable interpolation curve" and the "blend curve" should both be able to create a straight segment (even though they will be degree 1 BSpline curves instead of real line segment).

Thank you Chris. That is new to me. The editable interpolation curve work, blend curve not:

Thank you Chris. That is new to me. The editable interpolation curve work, blend curve not:

Of course, the blend curve still needs 2 edges as input (not vertexes), but you can then set the parameters to the end of the input edges, and set the continuities to C0.
Also, please not that the editable interpolation curve is in edit mode when you create it. You can double-click it in the tree-view to finish editing.

Hi Chris_G,

I had some problems using GeomInfo on my 4K monitor

Used font is too tiny and really hard to read.

Would you be so kind and change GeomInfo.py line 361
from:

Code: Select all

self.myFont.size.setValue(14.0)

to:

Code: Select all

self.myFont.size.setValue(FreeCAD.ParamGet("User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/Curves").GetInt('FontSize', 14))

This will offer an easy way to prevent eye diseases

What do you think about this?

Done. Thanks.
I called the parameter : GeomInfoFontSize
