The Link Edge option allows you to set the shape of edges. Select an edge for the source of the shape and then one or more target edges.
Select a method from the drop-down list:
- Selected
sets the shape of the target edge(s) with the specified scaling factor.
- Interactive
sets the shape of the target edge(s) with an interactive slider for scaling factor.
- In dimension
sets the shape automatically for all connected edges. Select the source edge for the Link Edge Dimension, the Source index or vertex, and the Target index or vertex.
Set a scaling Factor for the target edge shape with respect to the source edge shape.
If Link Direction is enabled, you can give an explicit direction by which the target edge mesh is transformed from the source edge shape. This may be useful to avoid creating overlapping mesh in situations such as:
when the target edge shape is inverted from that of the source edge, for example in curved imprinting.
when the edge shape is a non-planar 3D spline curve.
when the target edge is not in the same plane as the source edge shape.
