[To...] Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I need assistance in understanding how to properly recall points from a curve to use in profile of a line. I have attached a picture of how I used a point range under Add Range Limits to setup this feature. I'm not sure if I am missing a step somewhere. Is there a book or video somewhere that can walk me through the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 You want to recall some points from a 3d curve into another feature? Open the feature you want to recall into and from the curve. See those two red boxes in the upper right corner, next to the RDS RC Position button? You can select the second (on the right) one and draw a box around the curve points you want.

[To...] Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 In the example I have created 3d curve by recalling 25 points from another 3d curve that has 1000 points in it by using the point range method. Is the box method a better way of recalling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I use both, but prefer the "add range limits" method, especially with multiple curves and features, I want the exact same points from each curve, which is harder to get from the box method. What exactly are you stuck on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Whenever I execute the program I get results that does make sense. Look at the bottom of the Features window at the Form, Max, and Min numbers. Those should be zero until I run the program correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 When recalling the points in, make sire that the Re-calculate nominal geometry box is NOT ticked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Beware of recalculating - it will recalculate from actuals. Before evaluating you must have nominals. So you can add them by adding points from another curve and then removing not needed ones. Or you can recall points from copy of measured curve and tick "recalculate nominals". Then it will have nominals same as model. Check vectors after recalculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
