surfaces by moving their CVs in a normal (perpendicular) or tangential
direction.
To move CV normals
- In the Tool Palette, select Transform

or click the Move
CV Normal icon. The system prompts you to select surface
CVs.
- Click a CV to select it. To select several
CVs, hold down the Shift key as well. You can
also click a hull line to select an entire row of CVs at once. The
system prompts you to use the mouse buttons to move CVs.
- You can drag the active CVs using the
mouse:
- left mouse button drags along the normal
and back again
- middle mouse button drags along a U curve
of the surface (the height of the CV above the surface is maintained)
- right mouse button drags along a V curve
of the surface (the height of the CV above the surface is maintained)
You can type values for
CV displacements in the N (normal), U, and V directions (in ABS or REL mode).
