Creating the sole surface<br />

SHOE DESIGN AND VISUALIZATION WITH RHINOCEROS<br />

In the next step you will draw the last’s central curve. This curve defines the curvature of<br />

the bottom of the last <strong>and</strong> the shank. You will then create a surface from the sole outline<br />

curve <strong>and</strong> the central curve.<br />

To create the central curve<br />

1 Hide all of the curves except the 3-D sole<br />

curve you just created. (Edit menu:<br />

Visibility > Hide)<br />

2 In the Right viewport, using the image as a<br />

guide, use the InterpCrv comm<strong>and</strong> to draw<br />

a curve representing the center of the last.<br />

(Curve menu: Free-form > Interpolate<br />

Points)<br />

Start drawing at the heel of the sole<br />

curve. Use the End object snap to place<br />

the starting point at the end of the 3-D<br />

sole curve at the heel.<br />

Be sure to place one point in the lowest<br />

part of the last.<br />

Use the End object snap to place a point<br />

on the 3-D sole curve at the toe.<br />
