Hi everyone,
I have a bit of a VBA rookie question.
I am able to do long VBA programs, with single inputs, multiple inputs, loops, etc etc.
But I'd like to start cleaning up my code, and avoid doing multiple copy/paste everytime to get my code running.
So, question:
How to I call and use...
Hello everyone,
Anyone knows if it's possible to create a NURBS surface in CATIA, by entering its mathematical definition?
I know you can do it via CAA/RADE:

Hello everyone,
In my short experience with CATIA V5 automation, there are two major factors that impact VBA automation:
1. Surface orientation (natural normal)
2. Geometry sorting
1. For surface orientation, i've been able to make a script that compares the natural normal vector of each...
I have quite a few 3D models, if ever you're interested shoot me a PM.
We might work something out.
I can also draw you the 3D if you'd like. Volutes we're my thing :)
Here's my humble input:
I am (was) a part-time luthier, using CNC to do my parts.
Best approach is to do a full reverse engineering process, and go section by section.
Rebuild contour, headstock, neck profile sections (1st fret, 12th, heel) etc etc.
The real plus side, is that you can do...

Anywhow, I think I've found something.
In the Freestyle module, there's something called "Converter Wizard".
With this function you can convert curves and even surfaces to simplified versions. Meaning...
Basically i'm trying to get a section of a surface, and try to improve the curvature for G1 and G2 continuity of those sections.
Sometimes I need to correct surfaces that have some "waviness" on them, barely noticeable to the naked eye.
But once you check them with the Porcupine analysis tool...
Hi,
Anyone managed to use some of these functions?

If so, which?
I've been trying to learn a bit more about bezier curves, and there are two functions to approximate curves to cubic and quadratic bezier curves...
Not only i found it, but i made a userForm if anyone wants it.

Question: Is there a way to find and select all true cones in a catpart?
When you use the "measure item" tool, and you hover your cursor over a given entity, it will show the type of geometry:
. An "x" for a point
. A rectangle for a plane
. A curved line for splines
. A mini cone, if the...
Here's what i came up with:
Waddaya think?
Sub CATMain()
CATIA.ActiveDocument.selection.Clear
Dim PartDocumentDest As PartDocument
Set PartDocumentDest = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Dim PartDest As Part
Set PartDest = PartDocumentDest.Part
Dim hybridShapeFactory1 As HybridShapeFactory...
Thats actually a prettty good idea.
So basically I would create a collection with said surfaces using a loop with a step 2 . Within that loop I could do the fillets, then come back, and with another loop do fillet1 + surface5 - apply second fillet - fillet2 + surface8 and so on.
Then third...
Hi everyone,
First of all, before anyone replies to this message: Thanks eng-tips! I've learned so much just by browsing through the existing forums. So many talented and generous people around here.
Here's what I'm trying to do.
I have a skin in CATIA that is like a saw-tooth kind of...
