Creating Continuous 3D Curves Using TriBall

Creating Continuous 3D Curves Using TriBall

Notes
The following instructions are based on IRONCAD 2022.
In IRONCAD 2021 and earlier versions, the command locations differ slightly, but the operation method is the same.

When creating a continuous 3D curve passing through multiple specified points, use the [Line] or [Spline] command together with TriBall.
 + 


Example: Creating a Line

[1] Click the Line command and specify the start point.

[2] Activate TriBall and move it to the next point through which the curve should pass.

[3] Press the [p] key on the keyboard.
This creates an intermediate (via) point on the 3D curve, allowing you to continue creating lines in different directions.

[4] Repeat steps 2 and 3 to continue adding points and extending the curve.
