     Point, Direction, WithDialog: This method is to create a flat sheet.

    Point: Selects a point to define a start point of the sheet.

    Direction: Selects a longitudinal direction of the sheet.

    WithDialog: Modifies the property for the sheet. The sheet is created with clicking OK. For more information, click here.

     Point, Direction, Direction, WithDialog: This method is to create a flat sheet.

    Point: Selects a point to define a start point of the sheet.

    Direction: Selects a longitudinal direction of the sheet.

    Direction: Selects a lateral direction of the sheet.

    WithDialog: Modifies the property for the sheet. The sheet is created with clicking OK. For more information, click here.

 

     MultiPoint, WithDialog: This method is to create a folding sheet. The folding sheet has a restoration force to the original straight state.

    MultiPoint: Selects points to define a series of direction points sequentially. The passing points are a curve profile in two-dimensional space. The B-spline interpolation method in 3rd order is used to make a curve. To finish inputting points, click here.

    WithDialog: Modifies the property for the sheet. The sheet is created with clicking OK. For more information, click here.

     Surface, WithDialog: This method is to create a curled sheet. If a sheet is locally curled due to temperature or humidity, the sheet is semi-permanently deformed and can be passed on the rollers. In this case, the jamming can be easily arisen.

    Surface: Select a surface geometry that is created by Spline Surface.

    WithDialog: Modifies the property for the sheet. The sheet is created with clicking OK. For more information, click here.
