Draft BezCurve/es

Descripción
La herramienta BezCurve crea una Bezier Curve (o una curva Bezier por partes) desde varios puntos en el actual work plane. Toma el linewidth and color previamente establecido en la pestaña Tareas.

The BezCurve tool curve uses to define the direction of the curve; on the other hand the Draft BSpline tool specifies the exact points through which the curve will go. To create exact circular or elliptical curves, use Draft Arc and Draft Ellipse.





Utilización

 * 1) Invoke the Draft BezCurve command several ways:
 * 2) * Press the button in Draft toolbar
 * 3) * Press the then  keyboard keys
 * 4) * Use the entry in the Draft menu
 * 5) Click a first point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the  button.
 * 6) Click additional points on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the  button.
 * 7) Press  or the  button, or double-click the last point to complete the edition.

El objeto se crea como una única curva Bezier de grado (número_de_puntos - 1). Esto se puede cambiar a una curva Bezier por partes de un grado específico después de la creación usando el properties editor.. Las curvas de Bézier se pueden editar utilizando.

The curve can be edited by double clicking on the element in the tree view, or by pressing the button. Then you can move the points to a new position, or click or  and then click on the curve to add or remove points. You can also change the constraint type of each point.

Node constraints
The segment endpoints can be constrained such that adjacent control points are tangent or symmetric to the segments at the endpoint. First, start editing the curve, then pick one of the tools and then pick a point. Click again on the tool to deactivate it, so you can move the point.
 * remove constraints on the points so the curve can have sharp corners.
 * force adjacent control points to be tangent.
 * force adjacent control points to be tangent and equidistant.

Limitations

 * The Points property does not yet appear in the properties list.
 * OpenCascade, and thus FreeCAD, does not support Bezier curves of degrees larger than 25. This should not be a problem in practice, as most users would typically use Bezier curves of degrees 3 to 5.

Options

 * Press or the  button to finish the curve, leaving it open.
 * Press or the  button to close the curve, that is, a segment will be added from the last point to the first one to form a face. At least four points, a curve of degree three, are required to form a face.
 * Press or the  button to remove the curve segments already placed, but keep editing the curve from the last point.
 * Press or the  button to adjust the current working plane in the orientation of the last point.
 * Press, or  after a point to constrain the next point on the given axis.
 * To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press between each X, Y and Z component.
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle relative mode. If relative mode is on, the coordinates of the next point are relative to the last one; if not, they are absolute, taken from the origin (0,0,0).
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle continue mode. If continue mode is on, the BezCurve tool will restart after you finish the curve, allowing you to draw another one without pressing the tool button again.
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle filled mode. If filled mode is on, a closed wire will create a filled face ; if not, the closed wire will not make a face.
 * the curve should not be filled if it intersects itself, as it won't create a proper face. If the curve is filled but no shape is visible, manually set to  to see the curve.


 * Hold while drawing to force snapping your point to the nearest snap location, independently of the distance.
 * Hold while drawing to constrain your next point horizontally or vertically in relation to the last one.
 * Press + or press the button to undo the last point.
 * Press or the  button to abort the current command; curve segments already placed will remain.

Data

 * : specifies the degree of the Bezier curve or the individual segments.
 * : specifies if the curve is closed or not. If the curve is initially open, this value is ; setting it to will draw a segment to close the curve. If the curve is initially closed, this value is ; setting it to  will remove the last segment, and make the curve open.
 * : specifies if the curve makes a face or not. If it is a face is created, otherwise only the perimeter is considered part of the object. This property only works if  is.
 * do not set to  if the curve intersects itself, as it won't create a proper face.


 * : (read-only) when the curve is closed, indicates the continuity of the curve, or . Otherwise it's.

View

 * : specifies the size of the symbol displayed at the end of the curve.
 * : specifies the type of symbol displayed at the end of the curve, which can be dot, circle, arrow, and tick.
 * : specifies whether to show a symbol at the last point of the curve, so it can be used as an annotation line.
 * : specifies a Draft Pattern with which to fill the face of the closed curve. This property only works if is, and if  is "Flat Lines".
 * : specifies the size of the Draft Pattern.

Scripting
Draft API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The BezCurve tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:


 * Creates a object with the given list of points,.
 * Each point in the list is defined by its, with units in millimeters.
 * Alternatively, the input can be a, from which points are extracted.
 * If is, or if the first and last points are identical, the curve is closed.
 * If a is given, it is used; otherwise the shape is created at the origin.
 * If is, and the wire is closed, the wire will make a face, that is, it will appear filled.
