The **Quick Flow on Surface** command enables you to flow objects oriented to one surface onto another surface with precision and flexibility.

How It Works:

The command features three main panels:

1. **Surfaces Panel**:
   * **Base Surface**: Select the surface from which the objects will be oriented.
   * **Target Surface**: Select the surface where the objects will be placed.
2. **Objects To Flow Panel**:
   * **Deformable Objects**: These objects will stretch to fit and adapt to the target surface.
   * **Rigid Objects**: These objects will be distributed on the target surface without deformation.
3. **Parameters Panel**:
   * **Reverse U/V Directions**: Adjust the U, V, or both UV surface directions to align the objects correctly with the target surface. You can apply these adjustments to either the Base surface or the Target surface to ensure precise orientation and fit.

This command provides comprehensive control over how objects are adapted or distributed across surfaces, offering both flexibility in deformation and accuracy in placement.

**Goldsmith Tip**: This command is especially useful for dynamically adjusting complex gem distributions. After flowing the circles onto the base surface, you can move them interactively and immediately see how they align on the target surface. This allows you to easily check for issues such as objects being too close, intersecting, or being correctly positioned, and make real-time adjustments to achieve the perfect arrangement.
