Full Version: composite curve export to STEP

Michael: Thanks for working on this! Yes, composite_curve2.stp is what I need.

BurrMan: I don't understand what you mean about deleting edit points. I see 16 edit points in composite_curve.stp and deleting any of them distorts the curve when I try that. Are you saying Trim followed by deleting the mid-span points?

Hi Michael,

The new composite curve writer will work on arbitrary curves and not just analytic types, right? For example, a joined line-helix-arc will be output as a composite LINE-BSPLINE-CIRCLE?

Hi Peer,
I was a little off. I had just done a simple test at first and replied. THe3 video shows what I did.

Then after you responded, I dove a little deeper and discovered it was just an anomaly that wouldn't really work. I believe the end of the video shows what you experienced.



Anyway, it sounds like Michael understands and is going to be able to help you...

I think so, attached is an example of a joined line-helix-arc.

Michael: Thanks for confirming. That's perfect.

BurrMan: Thanks for posting a video of what you did. That's an unexpected quirk you discovered there.

Yeah. It was odd in that it was the ONLY way it produced results. Virtually every other way gets messy results!

Just my luck....
