adding blend vertex

[abhishek.modi]

Hi all,


I am using wildfire 1.0 and I have a question regarding the blend tools (like blend, swept blend)


for a general blend, I make closed curves and select them as the sections. The problem is that if I want to blend a smooth section like a circle to a section with edges like a square, I need the same no of blend vertices at appropriate places. In a circle I can add vertex only at the two points that are originally vertex. Is there a way to add vertices at any point in the section I want to?


-thanks, abhishek

circle ->square..



easy make ur circle out of 4 (1/4) parts of a circle





i think you could also add datum points to the curves and it would use
them as vertex to? but i could be confusing that with something else.

While in the sketcher, you can divide up the entity (the circle in this
case) using the divide tool. I usually constrain those points to
construction lines and use the angle of the const. lines to line up the
points with the points in the second section.

When creating a Boundary Blend you can use pts attached to the curves as Control Points.
