-
Activate the Geometrical set using the
Define in Work Object contextual menu.
-
Click Curves Slice
.
The Curves Slice dialog box is displayed.
-
Select the curves or the edges to slice.
The list of the selected curves or edges is displayed in the Selected
curves field.
You can remove an element from this list by selecting it again.
You can then resume the selection of the elements.
-
Click Apply. The resulting segments and the
cutting point on each curve are pre-visualized.
Curves overlaps
are detected automatically and displayed in magenta:
There is no information message, no distance label,
only a yellow square:
the curves do intersect each other.
A message may inform you
that the curves or edges do not "pseudo-intersect"
each other with respect to the Max distance parameter.
These curves do not intersect each other, whatever the
Max distance parameter.
There is no solution.
The curves will intersect each other if you set the Max
distance parameter to
a value higher than that indicated in the message.
-
Click
More >> to display the Max distance parameter: Its
default value is 1mm.
Max distance is the minimum orthogonal distance between two curves
above which
one considers the two curves do not "pseudo-intersect" each other.
Increase this value according to your needs and click Apply.
-
By default, the Distances at nodes are not
displayed.
When this check box is selected, the Distances at nodes
(i.e. the mini 3D distances between the two curves of a
pseudo-intersection)
are displayed in yellow with the exception of the largest one that is
displayed in black.
Double-click this black label to update automatically the value of
Max distance
in the dialog box, with a slightly higher value.
-
Very tiny segments may be created.
To avoid it, select the
Filtering check box (former Min Length), and set the
Filtering value
(i.e. the minimum length of the segments created) value according to your
needs.
-
Click OK to validate the result. The input
curves are sent to the NoShow,
A new body Slice.x is created in the specification tree, under
the current working body,
containing the segments created.
