SHOE DESIGN AND VISUALIZATION WITH RHINOCEROS<br />

4 To create a curve through these points, use<br />

the CurveThroughPt comm<strong>and</strong>, with the<br />

Closed option set to No. (Curve menu:<br />

Free-form > Fit to Points)<br />

5 Rebuild the curve with fewer control points<br />

(5 to 8 points can be enough). (Edit menu:<br />

Rebuild)<br />

6 Use the PointsOn comm<strong>and</strong> to display the<br />

curve’s control points, <strong>and</strong> adjust the points<br />

in each of the viewports until you are<br />

satisfied with the curve shape. (Edit menu:<br />

Control Points > Show control points)<br />

You can use the CurvatureGraph<br />

comm<strong>and</strong> to refine the curvature.<br />

(Analyze menu: Curvature Graph On)<br />

It is a good idea to make the endpoints of<br />

the vamp curve lie exactly on the topline<br />

<strong>and</strong> sole profile cross-section curves.<br />
