Curve by formula |
This command allows you to create a 3D curve by providing its Cartesian equations.
Creation Stages / Use:
Choose the command 3D Sketch > Operation > Curve by formula... from the drop down menu.
Enter the formulas along the X, Y and Z axes of your curve.
Enter the minimum and maximum intervals of parameter t.
