StitchSrf node
 
 
 

These are the stitchSrf options. The options that appear in the Attribute Editor depend on which stitch operation was used.

Stitch Surface History

These are the options in the Stitch Surface section.

Input Surface

The Input Surface is a read-only attribute that lists the original object that was stitched.

Bias

Use the Bias value to blend the CVs between the input surface to the stitch node and the result from the stitch operation. A value of 0 has no effect.

Fix Boundary

You can use the Fix Boundary option only if the Cascade Stitch Nodes option and tangent continuity were on during the stitch operation.

When Fix Boundary is on, the boundary edges remain fixed while Maya solves for tangent continuity.

NoteOther attributes displayed in the Attribute Editor depend on the type of surface points you stitched. Information on the possible attributes follows.

Setting point constraint options for stitched edit points

If you stitched edit points together, the Point Constraints options are available.

Parameter U/V

Enter values in the Parameter U and Parameter V boxes to adjust the U or V parameters of the edit points you used to stitch the surface.

Position/Normal

The Position and Normal information is read-only. These values indicate in which XYZ direction the edit points and surface normals are located.

Setting CV positions for stitched CVs

If CVs are stitched together, the Override CV Position options are available.

CV Index boxes

The CV Index boxes in the Override CV position section let you override the default position of the CVs you used to stitch a surface together.

CV Position

The CV Position values indicate in which XYZ direction the CVs are located.

Continuity

Type on or off in the Continuity boxes to set position or tangent continuity for the stitch surface.

Step Count

Step Count is the same as Samples Along Edge in the options window.

Bias

Use the Bias value to blend the CVs between the input surface to the stitch node and the result from the stitch operation. A value of 0 has no effect.

Tolerance Controls

If Toggle Tolerance is off (the default setting), the Step Count (Samples Along Edge) is used as the tolerance value. If on, you can set a specific tolerance value.
