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.

Usage
- Switch to the Curves workbench (install from Addon Manager is necessary, if not previously installed)
- Select an object in the tree view (sketch, wire...) or one or several edges in the 3D view (use CTRL key)
- Invoke the Curves ParametricComb command several ways:
- A comb is created, showing the curvature of the selection.
Notes
- This tool functions as a visual aid.
