Lets you create a surface by “skinning” a NURBS surface across cross-section curves.
This option controls the V parameterization of the new surface.
Interpolate – Place V isoparametric curves at the locations of the original curves. This is the default setting.
Cubic Fit – This option cannot be used when creating a degree 1 surface.
Place V isoparametric curves according to a fitting algorithm. In some cases, this option can eliminate unwanted variations in the skinned surface.
The U direction of the surface runs along the original construction curves. This option controls how the U parameters relate to the actual surface.
Uniform – The isoparametric curves corresponding to edit points on the original construction curves have integral parameters: the first edit point is parameter 0.0, the second is 1.0, and so on.
Arc Length – The new edit points for the curve are parameterized by the average length along the original construction curves at those points.
The starting edge of the surface has the parameter 0.0, and the opposite edge has the parameter equal to the average total length of the original construction curves.
The V direction of the surface runs between the original construction curves. This option controls how the V parameters relate to the actual surface.
Uniform – The isoparametric curves corresponding to the original construction curves have integral parameters: the first edit point is parameter 0.0, the second is 1.0, and so on. This option only applies to Interpolate skinning mode.
Chord Length – The edit points of the new curve are parameterized by the length of the surface.
The starting edge of the surface has the parameter 0.0, and the opposite edge has the parameter equal to the length of the surface.
This option controls the number of spans between the original isoparametric curves of the skin surface (as determined by the Skinning Mode).
