Command: Change Type

Shortcut : None

The command Change Type only applies to curve-sets. It changes the object type of a set of curves, for example from x-projections into section curves.

Using this command you can change the direction of a projection set for example changing x-projections into y-projections.

This command is especially useful when one wants to change the interpretation of existing curves for the command BUILDÞCreate:Surface. The same surface may be built in many different ways, and sometimes it can become apparent that the chosen section curves would work better as projections, and vice versa.

You might also want to change 2D projections into 3D projections ready for 3D building. However, the command Change Type won't automatically change the dimensionality of the curves. You will need to use the command CURVEÞChange:Dimension as well.
