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 />
