Flow Along Surface
The FlowAlongSrf command deforms objects by morphing them from a source surface to a target surface. This command is useful for adapting objects to complex surfaces while maintaining their overall shape.
Key Steps:
Select the objects to morph.
Choose the edge of the base surface near a corner.
Select the corresponding edge of the target surface near a matching corner.
Command-Line Options:
Copy: Creates a copy of the objects when morphing.
Rigid: Moves objects to the target surface without deforming them if set to "Yes." If "No," objects are relocated and deformed.
RigidGroups: Applies the Rigid option to groups of objects when enabled.
Plane: Allows using a plane instead of an existing surface as the base.
ConstrainNormal: Controls how the normal direction of the base surface maps onto the target surface.
AutoAdjust: Ignores UV directions, using the corner and edge of the surfaces to define the mapping, or uses the existing UV directions to determine the mapping.
PreserveStructure: Maintains the control-point structure of curves or surfaces for accuracy.
These options allow for flexible and precise morphing of objects between surfaces while controlling deformation and maintaining structural integrity.
