Paths

 
 
Create Path
 
 
Paths created in SimLab Composer can be from points in 3D space or on a plane. So when clicking the Create Path option, the Path Creation dialog will open, for the user to pick 3D or planer path.
 
 
 
 
 
Pick Points on a plane will display 3D access in the 3D area for the user to pick the plane to draw the path on.
 
 
 
 
Both options will open the Path Creation dialog shown below, where the user can create different types of paths.
 
 
 
 
Apply Tangents
 
 
One of the points of a created path should be selected, before choosing this option. The program will ask for picking a point and normal to determine the tangent. So picking a point will modify the location of the picked path point to become tangent to the selected point.
 
 
Generate From 2D
 
 
Creates 2D path from the outline of a selected surface. Using the Select options from the Common Tool bar can help in selecting a face, like selecting Pick Edge loop, as shown in the image below.
