skin subpanel (Surfaces panel) |
|
|
|
|
This subpanel creates a surface by skinning across lines. At least two input lines are required. Three or more input lines will fit a surface across all of the input lines, with the first and the last input lines defining the surface ends.
Two inputs are required to create a surface using this method:
| • | The line list defining the lines to use as input. The lines used to create the skin surface are automatically smoothed before the surface is created. As a result, the surface is created with a single face. |
| • | The auto reverse option prevents "bow tie" surfaces from being generated. The lines used to create the surface can be ordered in different directions. This results in a surface that crosses itself, resembling a bow tie. Enabling this option ensures that surfaces are generated with a similar order on each side. |
