Facet Curve

Used to convert curved elements and B-spline curves to lines, a line string, a stream curve, arcs, or points.

You can access this toolbar from the following:

Setting	Description
Method	Sets how the dropped element is constructed. Equal Arc Length — The B-spline curve is evaluated evenly along the arc. Each segment has the same arc length, as defined by the value for Number. Equal Chord Length — The B-spline curve is evaluated at a given number of points such that the distance between each successive point is the same. Fixed Chord Length — The distance between each pair of successive points evaluated is the same as the chord length. Max. Chord Height — The maximum chord height for all of the line segments is less than the Chord Height. Equal Parameter Length — The B-spline curve is evaluated evenly in the parameter space by the Number value.
Facet To	Sets the element type to which the selected B-spline curve is converted. Line String — The B-spline curve is dropped to a line string. Lines — The B-spline curve is dropped to a number of connected lines. Stream Curve — The B-spline curve is dropped to a stream curve. Arcs — The B-spline curve is dropped to a number of connected arcs. Points — The B-spline curve is dropped to a number of points.
Number	Sets the: Number of points when Method is set to Equal Parametric Length. Arc length when Method is set to Equal Arc Length.
Keep Original	If on, the original B-spline curve is retained.
