Performing Operations on Shape Geometry
Smoothing Curves
The smoothing of the curve can be improved even if it has no remaining curvature discontinuities.
Some options are grayed out when trying to smooth a curve that is curvature continuous.
The Topological Simplification is now grayed out when there is only one edge on the curve.
Extracting Geometry
New Distance and Angular Thresholds fields enable you to specify values below which the elements are
to be extracted.
You can now contextually create extracts in point and in tangency.
Extracting Multiple Elements
New Distance and Angular Thresholds enable you to specify values below which the elements are to be
extracted.
The computation of the Curvature Threshold has been modified.
The Support field is now available when there is an ambiguity about the propagation side.
