The Edit Geometry rollout provides g lobal
controls for changing the geometry of the
polymesh, at either the top (Object) level or the
sub-object levels. The control are the same at all
levels, except as noted in the descriptions below.
Inter face
Repeat Last—Repeats the most recently used
command.
For example, if you extrude a polygon, and want to
apply the same extrusion to several others, select
the others, and then click Repeat Last.
You can apply a spline extrusion of a single polygon (left)
repeatedly to other single polygons (1) or to multiple polygon
selections, contiguous (2) or not (3).
Note: Repeat Last does not repeat all operations.
For example, it does not repeat transforms. To
determine which command will be repeated when
you click the button, check the button’s tooltip. If
no tooltip appears, nothing will happen when it is
clicked.
Co nstrai nts—Lets you use existing geometry to
constrain sub-object transformation. Use the
drop-down list to choose the constraint type:
• None: No constraints.
• Edg e: Constrains vertex transformations to
edge boundaries.
• Fa ce : Constrains vertex transformations to face
surfaces.
When set to Edge, moving a vertex will slide it along one
of the existing edges, depending on the direction of the
transformation. If set to Face, the vertex moves only on the
polygon’s surface.
Note: You can set constraints at the Object level, but
their use pertains primar i ly to sub-object levels.
The Constraints setting persists at all sub-object
levels.
