Shrinkwrap Examples

Use the Select Tight-Fit Faces or Facets tool guide to control shrinkwrap facets in selected areas.

The following simple example shows how the tool guide works.

Click the Select Tight-Fit Faces or Facets tool guide and double-click the top face. This face will be tightly fit in the shrinkwrap.

Notice that the facets fit tightly on the selected face. It is important to note that the controlling effect falls off as a function of distance from the selected area.

Secondary size is more useful for refining the shrinkwrap to preserve the initial shape. An example is shown below.

This faceted model has a distinct profile shape.
Using the default size and no Secondary size specified, Shrinkwrap produces a very rough approximation of the profile.
Enable the Secondary size option and specify a smaller value for Secondary size. Click the Select Tight-Fit Faces or Facets tool guide and select facets around the profile to apply the secondary size.
Click Complete and see that the secondary size follows the profile.

Use the Shrinkwrap options to make the triangles conform more to the shape with different sized triangles based on curvature.

Original faceting.

Faceting after shrinkwrap using Max size and Curvature angle. Larger triangles can be seen on the forearm and smaller triangles by the nails where curvature is greater.

Use the Remove interior option to wrap the selected object to cover all openings and remove interior voids.

This example has both small details that should be captured during shrinkwrapping as well as large openings.

Faceting after shrinkwrap using Remove interior with a Fit tolerance of zero. Specifying a value of zero will automatically compute facet sizes based on geometry.
