Enabling the Image to Curve Add-Inįirst, enable the Image to Curve add-in from the Add-in Libraries by going to the Developer tab in the Model Builder and clicking Add-in Libraries.įrom the list, select the check boxes for the Image to Curve add-in to enable it. The solid geometry profile resulting from deleting a few extraneous domains that is created in the conversion from an image to a geometry.Ī swept mesh based on the black marker profile. In this case, the 3D model was created by extruding the image-based 2D geometry.Īn imported photo (taken with a smartphone) of a profile drawn with a black marker with an overlaid contour plot (thin green line). In the figure below, you can see a few of the different steps involved in order to create a swept mesh based on a photo of a profile that was drawn with a black marker. Here, we demonstrate how to use this functionality. This interpolation curve can then be used as part of a geometry. Using the add-in, an interpolation curve is created from a contour plot of an imported image. The Image to Curve add-in lets you use an image as a starting point for an analysis.
