From Curve

This tool allow us to generate a surface along a curve. It works with any kind of curve.

Using opened curves:

Using closed curves:

Dragging the handles will allow you to change dynamically the dimensions, and double-clicking to set the exact value.

Interface

Parameters

› Distance

Sets the dimension from the base curve to the end of the geometry created.

› Segments

Sets the number of divisions along the curve.

› Segments Along

Sets the number of divisions along the central axis.

› Symmetry

When it is active, creates the mirrored object using the curve as symmetry axis.

› Cap Start

Sets the property of the start cap. The drop-down list allow to choose between:

• None: without cap.
• Polygonal: it creates a cap with triangles that matches in a central point.
• Ngon: it creates a cap with a single face, it has the same number of sides than segments.

› Cap End

Sets the property of the end cap. The drop-down list allow to choose between:

• None: without cap.
• Polygonal: it creates a cap with triangles that matches in a central point.
• Ngon: it creates a cap with a single face, it has the same number of sides than segments.
