Wrap curves onto a construction cylinder whose center-line is aligned with one of the principle axes of the CPlane.
 Dialog Box: Wrap Curve on a Cylinder |
•Number of curves picked
The number of curves selected is displayed. Select the Pick Curves button to add more curves to the selection. •Wrap Cylinder Axis
Select X, Y or Z to determine the cylinder axis. •Wrap Cylinder Size
Select Radius, Diameter or Circumference to determine the size of the cylinder to wrap the selected curves on. Then enter the appropriate value or select the Pick Size button to select two points to set the size value. •Seam Start Angle
Specify the start angle for the seam of the cylinder according to the right-hand rule (counter-clockwise). |
