...add point?

[prodesign]

Hello NPower, tell me please how can i add point on to already existing pwr sketch curve? :confused:

And another question - some points dont change their type (corner, bezie, smooth...) - whis is my mistake or there is some limitations in convertions?

Hello prodesign,
thank you for posting!

By selecting the "Sketch Edge" sub object on the power sketch, and clicking "Insert Point" under the "Edit Edges" roll out, you can add additional points to your sketches.

To the best of my knowledge, the "sketch type" drop down under "Power Sketch Parameters" only affects the type of future points. It can not be used to change the type of already existing points.

You could try to split the sketch edge at the point you want to change point types, then draw a new curve of the type desired, then attach the two curves and merge their end vertices. This will probably take some experimentation to get working the way you want it to, however.

Big thanks!!

You can only convert the vertex type on Bezier vertices. Under Edit Vertices you can convert between Bezier vertex types (Smooth, Bezier, Bez Corner, C1 Bezier, C2 Bezier, and Corner), again the original vertex must be bezier for this to work.

I really think these controls should be disabled on non-bezier type vertices.

Hi Eric,

As usual, you make a very good point. Those controls should be disabled. We are currently working on disabling "unavailable" functionality (given a context), and will include that in the upcoming 6.1 release. I don't know if we will be able to update all of the commands, but we are fixing the most common and difficult to use.
