To define the transition area<br />
SHOE DESIGN AND VISUALIZATION WITH RHINOCEROS<br />
1 Draw a Line that defines the center of the<br />
transition area that will be removed. (Curve<br />
menu: Line > Single Line)<br />
Use an average inclination between the<br />
line perpendicular to the vamp curve <strong>and</strong><br />
the line perpendicular to the sole curve.<br />
2 Offset this line 20 mm on either side of this<br />
line as shown. (Curve menu: Offset Curve)<br />
To define the rotation point<br />
Draw a reference line from the<br />
intersection of the inside sole edge <strong>and</strong><br />
the central transition line.<br />
1 Use the DupEdge comm<strong>and</strong> to create a<br />
curve from the edge of the sole surface.<br />
(Curve menu: Curve From Objects ><br />
Duplicate Edge)<br />
2 In the Right viewport, use the Line<br />
comm<strong>and</strong> with the Int object snap to start<br />
the reference line at the apparent<br />
intersection of the edge curve <strong>and</strong> the<br />
central transition line. (Curve menu: Line ><br />
Single Line)<br />
Draw the line anywhere in space. You are<br />
only interested in the intersection point.<br />
