Learn how to place connected elements using straight lines, arcs, and curves. The many methods include using specific points or automatically streamed points.
- [Narrator] In this exercise, we will learn to create…basic linear and curve elements such as B-splines,…line streams and calculated line elements.…Continue using the file for chapter one;…More Draw Commands.dgn and using view groups,…select the B-splines by points model.…In this first example, we will look at…using the place B-spline command.…Using the task navigation dialog,…locate the linear elements panel…and hold down the B-spline by points…and select the Open 'Create Curves' toolbox.…
Select the B-spline by points command…and using the tool settings dialog,…set the method to control points…and input by two points using acute draw.…I will leave the closure setting to open…and the order set to four.…Issue with data point to begin the B-spline…and using a Zig Zag pattern of data points,…I can see the B-spline curve between them.…Use the reset on the mouse to complete the B-spline element.…Now, change the method setting to true points…and issue a series of similar points,…again, using the reset to complete the B-spline element.…
