Subdivide a T-Spline face
Learn how to use the Subdivide tool to split a T-Spline face into multiple faces in Fusion.
In the Design workspace, in the Form contextual environment, click Modify > Subdivide .
The Subdivide dialog displays.
In the canvas, select one or more T-Spline Faces to divide.
In the dialog, select an Insert Mode:
- Simple: Creates the minimum number of control points to subdivide the face. The shape of the T-spline surface may change.
- Exact: Creates additional control points to maintain the shape of the T-Spline surface.
Specify the number of faces to divide into:
- For quadrilateral faces: Specify the number of Length Faces and Width Faces.
- For non-quadrilateral faces: Specify the number of faces to divide into along each side of the face.
Optional: Check Object Snap to move the new vertices to the closest point on solid, surface, or mesh bodies in the canvas. Then adjust associated settings:
- Offset: Specify the distance to offset new vertices from the closest point on solid, surface, or mesh bodies in the canvas when Object Snap is enabled.
Click OK.
The T-Spline face is subdivided into the specified number of faces and displays in the canvas.
Tips
- Use Subdivide as a simple way to add more detail to your T-Spline model.
- To add or remove faces in your selection set, press
Control
(Windows) or Command
(Macintosh) and click the faces to add or remove.
- If you select only quadrilateral faces, you can specify the number of faces along both the width and length. Otherwise, you can specify an equal number of faces to divide into along each edge.
