Replacing (or changing the type of) a geometric component

[Guest Mr. Olivier Duquette]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to change the type of a geometric object (a curve or a surface)?

 

For example, I want to change a curve, lets call it "curveX", from a B-spline to a Generic Curve, but there are a lot of other components that are linked to that curveX.

Is there a way to keep those links? For example by changing the type of the original curveX, or by creating a new curve of the desired type and setting it

as the new curveX? Because right now, I have to set manually the links of all the other components that are dependent of that curveX.

 

Thank you,

Hi,

 

We mostly use an imagecurve or polycurve as the one that is being referenced. With this we can simply replace e.g. the source curve and all the dependencies are kept.
