This contextual command allows to show splines curvatures.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Select the Show curvature...contextual command from a spline.

 

When the curve is G2 continuous (common case), and if interpolation points and osculating circles are fixed, the curve is completely constrained in the periodic case.

 

 

  • Curvatures are represented with yellow lines perpendicular to the spline. Their length depends on the curvature. Smaller is the curvature radius, longer is the line length.

  • This contextual command is available for all types of spline.
