Move surface CVs

1. Select the Move CV tool .

2. Hover the stylus over the CVs you want to move.

   The selected CVs highlight.

3. Hold the trigger button and drag the CVs.

   Note:

   CVs snap to the X,Y, or Z direction vector when you move them along the direction indicator. Once snapped, the CVs follow the direction vector, which displays as a red (for X), blue (for Y), or green (for Z) dashed-line as you move them. CVs not snapped to a direction vector display a white dashed-line when moved.

4. Release the trigger to complete.

Move surface hulls

1. Hover the stylus over the Hull you want to move.

   The selected Hull will be highlighted

2. Hold the trigger and drag the Hull.

   An animated dashed-line will highlight the location of the Hull for guidance. This is helpful when unsnapping CVs from two different surfaces.

Divide surfaces

Use the Surface Divide tool to split a surface into two separate pieces.

1. Select the Surface Divide tool .

   The stylus displays a short dashed-line indicating the direction of cut.

2. Intersect the stylus with surface where you want to make the cut.

3. Pull and hold the trigger to preview the cut-line.

   Press left or right on the analog stick (Oculus) or D-pad (VIVE) to change the direction of the cut.

4. With the tool hand, position the cut-line, then release the trigger to make the cut.

The surface is split into two separate pieces each having the same number of CVs as the original.

Add a row of CVs

• 0:03 Add a row of CVs to a surface
• 0:45 Remove a row of CVs

1. Select the Add CV Row tool .

   The stylus displays a short dashed line indicating in which direction the row of CVs will be placed.

2. Intersect the stylus with surface where you want to add the row of CVs.

3. Pull and hold trigger to preview the CV row.

   Press left or right on the analog stick (Oculus) or D-pad (VIVE) to change the direction of CV placement.

4. With the tool hand, position the CV row, then release the trigger to place.

   A new row of CVs is added to the surface.

Remove a row of CVs

1. Select the Remove CV Row tool .
2. Intersect the stylus with the CV row you want to remove and pull the trigger.
