Description

The Curves ParametricComb can help to visualize the regularity or smoothness of a curve as well as the continuity between two curves. Note: A comb is only for visualization.

A 3D comb will be created for 3D curves. Sample and scale can be changed. This tool is part of the external workbench called Curves.

Above: shows the before (left) and after (right) application of the ParametricComb AKA Comb plot tool

Usage

  1. Switch to the Curves workbench (install from Addon Manager is necessary, if not previously installed)
  2. Select an object in the tree view (sketch, wire...) or one or several edges in the 3D view (use CTRL key)
  3. To invoke the command, do one of the following:
    • Press the button
    • Use the Curves → Comb plot
  4. A comb is created, showing the curvature of the selection.


Notes

  • This tool functions as a visual aid.
