AlanW Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Ok, I would like to be able to select a node in a Nurbs surface and manipulate it. Played with most of the Nurbs nodes and I can get a grid but cant select one and move. help Please. Quote Link to comment
SimA Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hello Alan I have the same problem. Have you found a solution? Thank you for your feedback. Greetings from Switzerland Quote Link to comment
Claes Lundstrom Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Double-click on the surface to get to the Reshape tool (or simply select in the tool bar). Select direction of movement in the Mode bar. Drag the control points. Be sure to be in one of the fixed views when editing The control points are typically located outside the shape, so editing can be quite frustrating and imprecise in VW. It doesn't help that you can't nudge individual selected points or use the Move command on individual points, or edit more than one object at the time (VW really needs an update here to at least be comparable with other 3D editors). What does help a little is to convert the NURBS into an Interpolated surface, where at least the controls ar on the actual object. Quote Link to comment
SimA Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hello Claes Thank you for your help! I think of a puppet node when solving it. Do you know your way around there too? Have a nice evening. Quote Link to comment
MRoth Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 😀 Puppet node is the DeepL term of a marionette node when translated from German. Quote Link to comment
