Sharp Corner

This converts a rounded corner into a sharp corner. This means, for example, that external parting surfaces are easier to create and extensions create fewer additional entities.

Before: Face with open edges selected	After: Open edges sharpened

Usage Example

The Sharp Corner function was used to prepare the parting surfaces.

Example of closed edge:

Special Cases

In this function:

• Lines and Splines are extended linearly.

• Arcs an Ellipses are extended neutrally.

This means that in certain cases the result is not a sharp corner.

Example 1:

If multiple adjacent edges are selected:	Result:

Example 2:

If one edge is selected:	The arcs are extended neutrally:	Result:

Example 3:

In some cases the extension of one edge forces the other edge to be trimmed rather than extended.	Edge 1 is extended and trims edge 2.	Result:
