normal spline

[borf]

im curious as to why the normal constraint doesnt work with splines (NURBS) in sketcher. here is a picture for youView attachment 1034

You can try using an angle dimension and setting it to 90 degrees.

normal to what? normal denotes perpendicularity.

To make it normal in sketch mode you dimension it by clicking on the spine then clicking on the end point then one final click on the entity you would like it to be perp to. 3 clicks total and I think the perp entity has to be flat.

I wonder the same also. Miked has your answer on how to make it perpendicular.

 

[borf]

ok that does the angle dimension miked. another way is make it tangent
to a normal centerline (that brings up my original question why only
tangent constraint works.)
