Description
The Curves IsoCurve tool applies a UV oriented lattice onto selected surfaces.
Above: shows the surface before (left) and after (right) applying the tool
Usage
- Select one or more faces in the 3D view.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the
IsoCurve button.
- Select the Surfaces →
IsoCurve option from the menu.
- Press the
- A IsoCurve object is created for each selected face, applying a UV oriented lattice on each face.
- Optionally edit the values in the Property editor to change the numbers of iso curves along U and V directions and adjust the related properties (see Properties below).
Notes
- Curves can be extracted as a subelement (e.g: with Curves JoinCurves) for others uses or just to help to visualize the shape.
Properties

A IsoCurve object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:
