To insert a parallel midbody section, by extending the existing one.
Syntax
|
INSERT < AFTER > < /NUMBER $N > ( /CURSOR ) |
Description
The new data point is added AFTER ( the default ) or BEFORE a user selected reference point. The reference point is identified either by the cursor or by specifying its reference number. Reference numbers can be determined by using the DATA POINTS command or the DISPLAY POINTS /NUMBER command.
The coordinate of the new point can be entered on the command line, defined using the cursor or by interpolating the current curve at a given U or V value.
A parallel midbody can be extended by giving the PMB option. The first value refers to the position at which the PMB will be extended and the second value refers to the length by which to extend it.
