Deform Curve

Command

Deform

Shortcut

Button

Wrap existing curves onto a regular and irregular surface.

Basic Usage

Select the curves you want to wrap.
Type Deform in the Command Palette.
Select a reference face where the existing curves are placed at as a neutral plane.
Select the target face to deform curves with.
Set the options in the Command Dialog.
- Command Dialog
  - Scale: Scale in U, V, N Value.
  - Offset: Offset in U, V, N Value.
  - Flip:
    - Mirror: Mirror the deformed curves in Z Axis.
    - UV: Flip the U and V orientation of the deformed curves.
    - Normal: Flip the normal of the deformed curves.
  - Keep Tools: Performs Deform operation while keeping the tool objects intact.
Confirm with OK in the Command Dialog or right-click.

ℹ️

Scale and Offset uses a UVN coordinate system instead of XYZ coordinate system when adjusting the parametric value, allowing you to define the orientation of the deformed objects at a specific point in relation to the target surface. For more information on the UVN coordiante system, click here.

💡

Tip To avoid unwanted deformations or inaccurate placement, use the Unwrap Face command from the Command Palette on the target object. This generates a correctly mapped surface, which can then be used as an accurate reference face.
