Once the entities forming the series of curves have been selected, the number of curves must be set. and the interval points to create.

When choosing this method, there are two ways to generate points by specifying the step size:

  • The first option is to click on the and enter the interval desired between the points. The cell containing the number is then grayed out but calculated nonetheless. The tool CreatePoints takes the full length of the selected curves, then inserts the points.


 


It is possible to set an offset dimension of the first point in relation to the start of the series, and an offset dimension of the last point created in relation to the end of the series of curves.


 


  • The second option is to enter the number and the interval of the points to be created. If required, set start and/or end offset dimensions and start direction. .


Possibly with an offset rating at the beginning .


 


When the " Specify Pitch " option is checked, the pitch variation can be calculated using two methods:

  • Arithmetic sequence:

Specify the interval and a value for the arithmetic sequence. The common difference is added to the step.

Example—for an arithmetic sequence with a step size of 2 mm and a common ratio of 3, the points will be spaced at 2, 5, 8, 11, and so on, until the desired number of points along the selected curves is reached.


 


  • Geometric reason:

Specify the interval and a value for the geometric sequence. The calculated value for each step is obtained by multiplying the previous value by the common ratio.

Example—for a geometric sequence with a step size of 2 mm and a common ratio of 3, the points will be spaced at 2, 6, 18, 54, and so on, until the desired number of points along the selected curves is reached.
