Feature lines with arcs added to surface

[Richard McDonald]

I have an auto-feature line with arcs which I am adding to a surface.
The results are less than desirable, basically a triangle between the 2 end points and the centre.
If it were a standard feature line I could add IP's at a set distance as a work around.
Is there a way to force C3D to follow a curve?



Many thanks

I'm assuming you're adding this feature line to the surface as a Standard Breakline. If that is the case, in the Add Breaklines box at the bottom you can use the Supplementing factors to have the surface create more triangles along that curve. Typically I suggest lowering the Mid-Ordinate distance to something like 0.1'.

Thanks Steve,

I was setting the mid-ordinate distance when setting up the auto feature line thanks to pointing me in the right direction.

Set the distance to 5m as well.

Better get back to my sexy curvey model.
