Adaptive rebuild tutorial

Options

  • Angle threshold: the angles bigger than this will be ignored, and the corners removed. The angles smaller than this will be kept and the corners will remain.
  • Point Count: the number of control points that the new rebuilt curve will have. Higher this number, higher the accuracy of the rebuild will be.
  • Curve degree: specifies the degree of the curve

Remarks

To remove corner points, right click on the J_CrvInsertCorner button to call J_CrvRebuildBySegs.

J_FilterCurve

Filter a curve

This command rebuilds a curve using a tolerance given from the user instead of control points count.

Find it in: JPattern Design toolbar

Steps

  1. Choose the curve to filter
  2. Select the options for the filtering
  3. The curve is filtered

Options

  • Tolerance: the maximum distance between the old curve and the rebuilt one
  • Cutoff Angle: the angle after which the line is broken into smaller pieces
  • Delete Input: if this is set to yes the old curve is deleted
