Illustrate how a curve’s polynomial degree and fit tolerance can be modified.

What will be an ideal response?


There are many ways to refine a curve. You can rebuild it by specifying the degree of polynomial degree and the number of control points. As an alternative to blending two separate curves, which adds a curve between them, you can match a curve to another curve to obtain G2 continuity. To change the shape of a curve and yet maintain the tangent direction at the end points, you adjust end bulge. You can move individual segments of a polycurve, and you can replace a portion of a curve with a line segment. You can fair a curve to reduce large curvature deviation, simplify a curve consisting of segments of varying degree of polynomial, and refit an imported polyline to a free-form curve. If you are going to export free-form curves to other applications that do not support splines, you convert curves to line and arc segments.
