Edit network curves while maintaining intersections
 
 
 

Edit a network curve using the normal curve editing tools, while maintaining the intersections with the other curves in the network.

Normally when you edit a curve in the network, you run the risk of moving or reshaping the curve out of intersections with the rest of the network. To prevent this you can lock the curve intersections so editing tools won’t disrupt them.

To show the curve network toolbox, choose Surfaces > Curve Networks.

Lock a curve to maintain intersections

  1. Choose CrvNet Tools > Lock Intersection.
  2. Click a free network curve you want to lock.

    The curve network surfaces become invisible and the curve highlights.

  3. Use editing tools to edit the curve.
    Note

    You can only lock one curve at a time.

Unlock a locked curve

  1. Choose CrvNet Tools > Lock Intersection.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click the curve to unlock it. The surfaces reappear and are updated.
    • Click another curve to lock and edit that curve. This automatically unlocks the previously locked curve.
