Graphs in the new version have also been improved, becoming a system-wide mechanism for managing various quantities in various operations. For example, by connecting a graph, you can control the magnitude of the continuation of the surface or the radius of the arc, thereby making these values not constant. You can control different values in different operations, for example, in operations Transition surface and Extension by Law.
You can call the graph editor from the command dialog in which the creation of a graph is available.
The types of graphs Polyline and Cubic Spline are used to linearly change the parameter and the cubic law of change. At each point of the cubic spline, the parameters of the angle of the tangent and the scale of the vector of the tangent are available. This allows to accurately describe any mathematical or empirical dependence.
Graph type: Polyline |
Graph type: Conic Spline |
If the option of a graph type By 3D Curve was selected, the system will offer to select two curves in the 3D scene.
The first will determine the X axis: Support Curve. The second will determine the distance from the support curve, thereby setting the value of the function: Law Curve.
