Skin Surface Tool Guides and Options
Skin Surface Tool Guides
The following tool guides help step you through the process. Use the Tab key to cycle through them. As soon as the tool guide switches, the cursor may change to reflect the active guide.
|
The Select Boundary tool guide is active by default. When this tool guide is active, you sketch surface patch boundaries on the facets. |
|
The Select Geometry tool guide lets you choose planes or existing patch edges to create boundary loops for surface patches. |
Skin Surface Tool Options
The following options are available:
| Samples | The value entered determines the number of Control Points on the Control Curves for the surface. By default, the number of sample points is fixed and cannot be changed. If you check the Full Preview option, you can enter a new number of sample points. In Full Preview mode you can enter a new number of points directly, or use the dropdown slider. |
| Full Preview | When you check Full Preview ON, you can control the number of sample points used in the surface. In Full Preview mode, when you change the number of sample points, the preview dynamically updates. The speed of the dynamic updates is affected by the number of sample points. Fewer points leads to faster updates. |
