When you give coordinates , you can add an r to make the coordinate
relative to the last given point.
CURVES
curves are renders of mathematical equations

curves in rhino are NURBS curves (Non
(Non-Uniform
Uniform Rational B-
B
Splines)
they have: a degree
th h
they have: control
t l points
i t
they have: weights

CURVES
draw 3 or more curves with the same control

points and different degrees
degrees.
CURVES
you get a straight line after… as many points edit point in a row
as the
th degree
d off the
th curve.
CURVES
If we use any third degree NURBS curve,

and we modify any set of points,
points
the first curve segment to coincide again will be the one between the 2nd-last and the
3rd last modified point. After that, all will coincide again.
CURVES
If the curve has kinks, you can explode it into smaller parts
Otherwise you can divide it with split

CURVES
You can join them back together, with Join, but they will be transformed into
polyLines and polyCurves (depending on the degree).
Try the command Properties to inspect the outcome.

CURVES
In some situations we may need to rebuild these polycurves

polycurves, so that they can
return to be a single entity.
A similar command to try is also rebuildCrvNonUniform.

rebuildCrvNonUniform
Both these commands reconstruct selected curves or surfaces to a specified degree

and with a specified number of control points.
CURVES
Not always it is easy to rebuild a curve to something similar, if we don’t add many
more points.
IN A INSTANT
SURFACES
besides points and curves,
NURBS surfaces are the basics of geometry in Rhino and can be used to draw both flat things and objects
An isoparametric curve (isocurve) is a curve of constant u- or v-value on a surface. Rhino uses isocurves and
surface edge curves to visualize the shape of a NURBS surface. By default isocurves are drawn at knot locations.
If the surface is a single knot-span surface like a simple rectangular plane, isocurves are drawn also in the middle
of the surface.
SURFACES
NURBS are inherently rectangular (U / V)
also surfaces can be rebuilt.

VARIOUS OTHERS
in the next exercises you might find also the following other commands
useful:
- divide a curve
- offset a curve
- project (parallel) onto a surface

- pull a curve onto a surface
- extrudeSrf to solidify a surface (straight movement)

- offsetSrf to solidify
