Can I turn a closed curve into a profile?

Question:

Can I turn a closed curve into a profile?

Applies to:

  • Implicit modeling
  • nTop 3.8

Answer:

No, currently curve blocks aren't able to create profiles. Instead, you can create an Implicit body from a curve by using the Implicit Body from Curve block. When thickened, the Implicit body creates a solid tube around the defined curve.

If you want to create a profile, use one of the following blocks:

  • Regular Polygon 
  • Circle
  • Polygon from Points
  • Section Body
