Curves to Profile

A flat, closed Profile outlined by one or more curves joined end to end, in the order of the rows; each curve is turned to run on from the one before it, so curves picked in either direction join. When the curves close a loop, the Profile lies in that loop's own plane; otherwise Normal sets the plane.

Inputs

Curves List of Curve

The outline curves in order around the loop, as rows or a wired Curve List; each may run either way.

Takes: any block that gives Curve (17 blocks)
Normal Vector

Plane direction, from a wire; replaces the typed value.

Output

Profile

Used by: Join Profiles, Profile Cut, Loft, Profile Extrusion, Profile Revolution, Profile Sweep, Surface Area

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

Solid Solid

The flat region as a zero-thickness Solid, the zero set of its distance field.

BoundingBox Bounding Box

The axis-aligned extent of the profile.

DistanceToExtrusion Number

Distance to the region extruded without end along the plane normal (an infinite prism).

DistanceToRegion Number

Distance to the flat region itself, with no extrusion.

Plane Plane

The plane the profile is drawn on, with its origin, normal and frame.

Polycurves List of Curve

The closed loops that bound the region.
