Align Surface Patterns

Use the Align tool to align surface patterns on shape-edited elements. Patterns can be aligned across the entire surface, or triangulated faces can be individually aligned.

Model patterns applied to a shape-edited element can be aligned with the Align tool. Use the controls on the contextual tab to specify wether the alignment applies across the entire surface or only applies to the face where the pattern line is selected. If the shape-edited surface contains ruled surfaces, the pattern may appear distorted.

For additional information, see Align Elements.
