Creating Profiles

Profiles are features created with a series of tangent lines and arcs that are calculated after all of the data for the profile is collected. You can control how the component arcs and lines are fitted to the collected data to smooth the profile or limit the number of individual components. There are two methods to create sketch profiles:

  1. Creating Open Profiles
  1. Creating Closed Profiles
