Create a seam and stitch geometry

Automate the creation of seams and stitching for visualization. Using a curve-on-surface to define the seam line, use the Stitch and Seam tool to create seam and stitch geometry.

Create a seam and stitch geometry

1. In the Surfaces tool palette, click the Stitch and Seam .

2. Select the curves-on-surface that define the seam and do one of the following:

   • If the selected curve-on-surface geometry is sufficient to create the seam, click Accept.
   • If the curve-on-surface is near the edge of its surface, then you may need to add neighboring surfaces to the primary selections. This ensures that the tool has enough geometry to properly generate the seam. To do this, click Add Primary, select the surfaces, and then click Accept.

3. Set options in the Stitch and Seam Control window and click Build.

4. Select the stich geometry in the Outliner and change their shader so you can differentiate them from the surfaces.
