Weighting HyperNURBS models
You can weight HyperNURBS models in one of two ways: interactively, or manually using the Live
Selection tool.
Interactive weighting
Select the elements (i.e. points, edges or polygons) that you want to weight. Hold down the period
key (‘.’) and drag left or right to set the weighting for the selected elements. The more weight you
apply, the harder the surface will try to reach it.
To set the minimum and maximum weighting that you can apply by dragging, select the Live
Selection tool and, in the Attribute manager, enter the desired values into the Interactive Minimum
and Maximum boxes.
Three modes are available: Point, Edge and Polygon.
Point mode
Selected points. ‘.’ + drag. ‘.’ + Shift-drag. ‘.’ + Ctrl-drag.
To weight selected points, hold down the period key (‘.’) and drag. To weight selected points and all
edges connected to them, hold down the period key and Shift-drag. To weight selected points and
the edges between them, hold down the period key and Ctrl-drag.
Edge mode
Selected edges. ‘.’ + drag. ‘.’ + Shift-drag. ‘.’ + Ctrl-drag.
