Converts curves back to guides so you can continue to shape and edit them. You can use Guides to Curves after editing the Guides.
- Description
-
Displays the names of the Description being edited.
- Tip Snap Amount
-
Sets the amount the guide stretches to reach the tip of the curve.
- Tip Snap Power
-
Controls how closely guides follow the curve shape starting from the base to the tip.
- Search Type
-
Lets you add guides based on their relationship to the curves.
Curves are selected using the Search Type results, which determines where the guides are added.
- Base Proximity
-
Selects curves that have their bases close to the location of guides.
- Name Association
-
Selects curves that have names associated with the guides, and then adds the guides to the surface.
Selecting Name Association disables TipSnapAmount and Delete Curves.
- Delete Curves
-
Deletes the selected curves after they are converted to guides.
- Preserve Dynamic Link
- When on, Maya maintains the links between the source curves and the target guides. This way, curve edits and animation are automatically applied to the guides. This option is useful when using one set of curves as the source for guides in multiple Descriptions.
Turn on Preserve Dynamic Link when driving guide shape and animation using nHair dynamic output curves. See Animate guides using nHair.
