Synopsis
The sub curve is used to trim a base curve from an input start point to an end point. The start and end points can be determined from inputting the distances along the base curve to the start and end points, respectively. If the start and end points are not exactly on the curve, the point on the base curve nearest to the input points will be used.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| curve | part | Required. Base curve part used for trimming. |
| distance1 | number | Distance along the base curve from the start point of the base curve to the start of the new subCurve. |
| distance2 | number | Distance along the base curve from the start point of the base curve to the end of the new subCurve. |
| reverse? | boolean | If True, reverses the direction of the result. The default value is False. |
