Jacob Samuel has
developed Bezier Surfaces from Curves. It is the newest sketchup extension that
is compatible with SketchUp 2015, SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017.
The extension is
used to generate and edit different types of Bezier surfaces out of Bezier
curves, arcs, circles and lines.
This extension
includes a toolbar and items to the Draw as well as Right Mouse Button Context
menus with tools to produce Ruled Rectangle, Translational Rectangle, Coons
Rectangle, Ruled Triangle and Coons Triangle rational Bezier surfaces out of
bounding non-rational and rational Bezier curves, arcs, circles and lines.
The types of
surfaces to be produced (availability of the tools) are based on the number of
curves chosen and provided that they allocate common endpoints.
As soon as the
surface is generated, the tools will assign you into the editing tool for the
surface drawn afresh. If required, the surface is edited according to your
choice by shifting the points or lines of the resultant control net or
modifying the "weights" of the control points.
Inferencing can
be accessed if a control point or line is shifted along with inference locking
with the Shift key. If you press the Esc key throughout a move, the surface
will be reset to the way it was prior to the starting of move./p>
With the purpose
of modifying the weight of a non-end control point, hover the cursor over the
control point for which the weight should be altered in order that it is
featured in green, put the new weight you prefer for it, devoid of moving the
cursor ahead of the control point, and press enter or return to affect the
shape of the surface.
Afterward,
choosing an obtainable Bezier surface drawn/edited with these tools and
applying Edit Rational Bezier Surface or Edit Bezier Triangle in the Right
Mouse Button Context menu will also activate the editing tool for the chosen
surface.
