Lets you create a collar NURBS surface along any boundary of a mesh, or curve on mesh.
Specifies the width (in current linear units) of the collar surface.
Specifies the number of spans for each segment you defined by clicking extra points on the boundary. The number of segments is equal to the number of points minus 1.
If checked, the tool builds a periodic (closed) collar surface.
If checked, min and max locators appear at the points of smallest and largest deviation between the collar and the mesh.
If checked, a color deviation map displays the deviation between the collar and the mesh. A deviation scale (ramp) also appears. This shows you what areas of the mesh have been affected, and by how much.
These options only appear if Show Deviation Map is checked on.
If this option is checked (default), the color scale updates automatically based on a range between zero and the maximum deviation from the last operation.
Maximum distance between the mesh and the collar surface shown on the color ramp. Areas on the mesh where the deviation is larger than this value are displayed in a solid color (red or purple). The default is 10.0.
Upper limit for the acceptable deviation between the mesh and the collar surface. Regions of the mesh where the deviation is smaller than this value are colored in green. The default is 1.0.
Where the value of the deviation is between the Acceptable Distance and the Ramp Distance, the mesh displays intermediate colors as shown on the ramp.
Turn on this option if you are not concerned with the direction of the deviation and simply want to view absolute deviation values.
Turn this option on to save the collar’s construction history for later editing.
You can use Object Edit > Query Edit or the History View window and select the collar to re-enter the tool and modify the option values and input points. However, changing the geometry of the mesh boundary or curve-on-mesh used to build the collar will destroy the collar history.
