Multiple input references

Multiple curves or surfaces can now be selected for the source reference if they are tangent continuous. They will be utilized as a single curve chain or surface quilt for the placement of the source objects.

Multiple output references

Previously, if multiple curves or surfaces were selected for the target reference, the source object would be duplicated onto each separate curve or surface.

Now, if the multiple targets are tangent continuous and have matching parameterization, they can be used as either separate surfaces for multiple placements, or as a combined target for a single placement.

• Multiple Outputs - On: The source object is applied to each separate surface or curve selected for the Target Reference. This is the default setting.
• Multiple Outputs - Off: The Target Reference is treated as a single curve chain or surface quilt.
  • For surfaces, the U and V directions of each surface need to be coordinated and the degree and the hull positions matched on adjacent edges to create a well ordered flow of CVs and aligned boundaries.
  • For curves, the U-direction of the curves must be unified.

Rotation and Flip Side

The orientation of geometry can now be adjusted without having to change the U and V directions of the source or target surfaces.

• Two buttons have been added in the Transform Options section to rotate the placed geometry in +90 or -90 degree increments.

• A new Flip Side option switches the placed geometry onto the opposite normal direction of the target surfaces.

Transform Options

Slide U and Scale U can now be used with curve references as well as surfaces references.
