This is comparable to using the Move transform on geometry in viewports.
Control points are simultaneously scaled and rotated around the link, which
in effect "moves" them.
Select a cross section in the Profile view first. Then select and move control
points in the Cross Section view to change the bulge.
Select and Rotate Control Points Lets you select and rotate control
points in and around the center of the link in Cross Section view.
This does not twist the mesh. If the cross section is not a circle, a bulge migrates
around the mesh.
Select and Scale Control Points Lets you select and scale control points
about the link's center in the Cross Section view.
If all cross section control points are scaled, the mesh bulges uniformly.
Draw Control Points Lets you add control points by drawing freehand
in the Cross Section view. The shape of the bulge changes based on the shape
you draw.
In the Cross Section view, you can draw the cross section interactively, placing
control points at each resolution step. You can freeze existing control points
by selecting them in the Cross Section view and holding down the Ctrl key as
you draw.
NOTE The number of control points created depends on the cross section
Resolution (see
Cross Sections panel on page 4700).
TIP You can also use this too In Profile view. When you draw in Profile view, you
change the profile of the bulge while placing a control point on each cross section
of the bulge angle. This is useful mainly when the bulge angle uses multiple cross
sections. You can rotate the orientation bar to draw whichever profile you desire.
(Imagine the Cross Section view being like drawing around the arm, and the Profile
view like drawing along the length of the arm.)
Insert Control Points Lets you insert control points by clicking the cross
section in the Cross Section view. A single control point is created each time
you click.
Adding control points and changing their position lets you sculpt the cross
section and control exactly where a bulge occurs on the mesh.
