Description
The 
Curves Pipeshell tool creates a Pipeshell sweep object.
Usage
- Select the edge that builds the sweep path in the 3D view.
- Select one or more required profiles in the Tree view.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Pipeshell button.
- Select the Surfaces → Pipeshell option from the menu.
- Press the
- A PipeShell object is created.
- Optionally edit the values in the Property editor to choose a different sweeping algorithm, or a different output shape and adjust the related properties (see Properties below).
Properties
See also: Property editor.
A PipeShell object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:
Data
Main
- DataMode (
Enumeration): PipeShell mode used to select the sweeping algorithm:Frene(default): ...DiscreteTrihedron: ...FixedTrihetron: ...Binormal: ...ShapeSupport: ...AuxiliarySpine: ...
- DataOutput (
Enumeration): Determines the shape of the object:Sections(default): ...Lofted Sections: ...Surface: ...
- DataProfiles (
LinkList):: Profiles that are swept along spine. - DataSpine (
LinkSubList): Sweep path.
Mode
- Data (Hidden)Auxiliary (
Link): Auxiliary spine. - Data (Hidden)Contact (
Enumeration): Type of contact to auxiliary spine.NoContact(default): ...Contact: ...ContactOnBorder: ...
- Data (Hidden)Corrected (
Bool): Corrected Frenet. - Data (Hidden)Direction (
Vector): Direction of the Binormal and FixedTrihedron modes. - Data (Hidden)EquiCurvi (
Bool): Curvilinear equivalence. - Data (Hidden)Location (
Vector): Location of the FixedTrihedron mode. - Data (Hidden)Support (
Link): Shape of the ShapeSupport mode.
Settings
- DataMaxDegree (
Integer): Maximum degree of the generated surface. - DataMaxSegments (
Integer): Maximum number of segments of the generated surface. - DataSamples (
Integer): Number of samples for preview. - DataSolid (
Bool): Make solid object. - DataTol3d (
Float): Tolerance 3D. - DataTolAng (
Float): Tolerance angular. - DataTolBound (
Float): Tolerance boundary.
Notes
- Pipeshell needs a wire object (as the sweep path), and at least one Pipeshell Profile.
- The two tools Pipeshell and Pipeshell Profile work together as an "Advanced" Sweep tool.
