DRAW

Delete Trim Curves

 

The Draw->Delete Trim Curves command in the Model module allows you to delete selected trim curves from a NURBS surface.

By deleting all trim curves, you return to the original surface.

For detailed information, examples, and procedures on modelling NURBS surfaces with projected and trim curves, see the Modelling NURBS Surfaces with Projected Curves section of the Modelling User's Guide.

Procedure

  1. Select a trimmed NURBS surface.
  2. Choose Draw->Delete Trim Curve and pick a trim curve on the surface. Your selection is highlighted in magenta and the Delete Trim Curves dialogue box is displayed.
  3. Your selection is highlighted in the scroll box. (If you have not clicked exactly on a curve in the last step, it does not matter because you can still select a trim curve in the scroll box).

Tip:
Make sure you selected the correct curve by referring to the highlighted (magenta) curve on the target surface.

  1. Click Delete.
  2. The dialogue box remains open and you can continue to undo and redo deletions, select other trim curves, and delete them.
  3. Click Ok to accept the current settings and exit the dialogue box or Cancel to exit without accepting the current settings.
