Editing a 3d Curve

[[Cl...]]

I have just discovered this function. I have a 3d Curve with one point with the vector reversed.

I started playing around with trying to change the vector and found out how by accident.

For those of you who weren't aware of this here it is.

 well i thought this is well known 😄

And if your vector is just inversed, then just right click on nominal point on list and select invert vector.
I am doing most stuff in here, because not everytime you get nominals in right order from many CAD intersections.

Usefull thing is cut and paste before / after.
Always check whole curve for inverted vectors - i have disabled show all nominals, but for check i am enabling it to see errors.
Inverted vector can lead into collision state even without collision ( same for nominal spline, curvy model and low density nominal points )

I've never needed to use this function. So, I never looked for, or knew it existed.

Clarke, that's very cool.  I love that experience of discovery in Calypso, which I still encounter weekly after having used the software for over a decade.

Another way to manipulate the vectors for all points, which perhaps you've used, is found in the drop-down menu for nominal values.

Depending on the situation, this can sometimes be used to fix an errant point.

I am learning new things every year. Now this one I do use a lot.

Keep exploring!  I still learn something new every day 😁.  If anyone tells me they know it all, I giggle to myself a little.
