Resolution lines Display as gray lines that surround the link radially. Control
points snap to these lines as they are positioned.
You can increase or decrease the resolution by changing the Resolution setting.
This control is on the Bulge rollout in Bulge Sub-Object. The Cross Section
view, however, always displays 36 resolution lines.
Red line The control spline for the active cross section.
The shape of the spline determines where mesh deformation occurs.
Green line Represents actual mesh deformation. (Typically this is less
exaggerated than the control spline.)
When you drag the time slider or play an animation, this updates according
to the angle of the limb and the bulge angle parameters.
Orientation bar The bright yellow radius indicates the orientation of the
“slice” shown in profile view. Profile view always shows a vertical profile of
Cross Section view, indicated by the green dots at the top and bottom of the
view, just outside the circle that contains the resolution lines. By default, the
orientation bar is level at 3 o'clock. You can change the Profile view orientation
by dragging the end of the orientation bar (the cursor changes to a miniature
cross section). This lets you view different angles of the bulge in Profile view.
Profile view
Use Profile view to select, move, and copy cross sections on the selected link
and its child. Highlight a cross section in Profile view to display and edit it in
Cross Section view on page 4696.
