■ Edit the tangent scale (Move Tangent Direction)
■ Move the base point to edit a different part of the surface (Relocate Base
Point)
■ Realign the gizmo (the edit bar).
■ Whether to reshape the curve (Move Point Location) or the tangency (Move
Tangent Direction).
Different options appear depending on what option you select.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Move Point Location When selected, moving the base point reshapes the
NURBS surface (and not the tangency).
Move Tangent Direction When selected, moving the base point changes the
tangency (and not the shape of the NURBS surface). This image shows the
edit bar moving in the U direction on the left, and the V direction on the right.
U Tangent Direction Moves the edit bar to the U axis to constrain the
tangency edit to that direction. In the image above, the image on the left
shows the edit bar moving in the U direction.
V Tangent Direction Moves the edit bar to the V axis to constrain the tangency
edit to that direction. In the image above, the image on the right shows the
edit bar moving in the V direction.
Normal Tangent Direction Moves the edit bar to edit the tangency of the
curve normal to the current UCS.
Set Constraint Sets whether the change in tangency or point location is
constrained to a specific axis.
■ X, Y or Z. Restricts the change to the designated axis.
■ XY, YX, or ZX. Restricts the change to a plane that is defined by the selected
axes.
Relocate Base Point Moves to a new location and add a new control vertex.
Align Gizmo With Sets the alignment for the change. Options include:
■ World UCS
■ Current UCS
