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