Surface Point rollout appears. These controls are
similar to the curve point controls.
U Position and V Position—If the point is on the
surface, these coordinates specify the point’s
loca tion, based on the surface’s local UV
coordinates.
On S u r f a ce—Spec ifies that the point lies on the
surface, at the location specified by U P osition and
VPosition.
If the point lies on the surface, you can move it
using the Move t r ansform. You can also move it
using the Move Surface Point button. See

Point Sub-Objects (page 1–1124)
.Eitherway,this
updates the U Position and V Position values.
Offset—Moves the point according to a relative
(object space) X,Y,Z location.
X Offset, Y Offset, and Z Offset—Specify the object
space location of the offset surface point.
Nor mal—Moves the point along the direction of
the surface’s normal.
Distance—Specifies the distance from the surface,
along the normal. Negative values move the point
opposite to the normal.
