Frameworks

3-D FFS > From c-edges > Framew.

Cross-sections are 2-D polylines that are placed along 3-D lines. This creates frameworks from which free-form surfaces or polyhedron surfaces can be derived.

In this menu, you will find functions for processing cross-sections, frameworks, 3-D edges and 3-D composite edges.

	Place cross-sections With this function, cross-sections can be placed on up to three guidelines. This creates frameworks from which free-form surfaces or polyhedron surfaces can be derived.
	Convert mesh Meshes are frames with the same number of points per cross-section. This function enables you to derive meshes from cross-sections. No surfaces, but a collection of composite edges are created in the process. You can use these composite edges for further modifications.
	Scale cross-sections Scales cross-sections and modifies the distance between cross-sections
	Lengthen c-edges to points Lengthens or shortens composite edges belonging to a frame
	Scale cross-section sequence Scales a sequence of cross-sections by specifying a surface calculation formula
	Scan c-edge Divides composite edges evenly by scanning reference composite edges
