Wrap

Use the Wrap tool to quickly wrap a PolyNURBS solid around a shape. You can create multiple PolyNURBS cages, and bridge the face of one cage to another.

This tool only works on meshes (.stl files).

  1. On the ribbon, click the PolyNURBS tab.
  2. Click the Wrap icon.
  3. Click the existing shape to define the first section.
    As you mouse over the shape, a preview of the first section is displayed. Red lines indicate the true section through the geometry, while the black lines indicate the actual face that will be created.
  4. Click a second time to define the next section.
    As you mouse over the shape, a preview of the next section is displayed. Moving the mouse along the section preview orients the cage face.
  5. Continue clicking along the existing shape to create additional sections.
  6. Click in the modeling window to complete the cage.
  7. Right-click and mouse through the check mark to exit, or double-right-click.
