About the Transform User Interface
The Warp tab consists of commands, tabs, and shortcut menus. Click > 
Warp to open the Warp tab. Select geometry to warp, and click 
Transform to display the transform settings.
Warp to open the Warp tab. Select geometry to warp, and click Transform to display the transform settings.Commands
You can set behavior for more than one category and perform more than one transform action at a time.

▪ Selection—Transforms the selected geometry.
▪ Jack—Transforms the jack.
◦ Drag
▪ Free—Freely translates geometry with respect to the direction plane.
▪ H/V—Translates geometry horizontally or vertically with respect to the direction plane.
▪ Normal—Translates geometry normal to the direction plane.

Tabs
• References
◦ Geometry collector—Displays the bodies or the group of curves, quilts, or facet geometry to transform.
◦ Hide Original check box—Hides the geometry of the original entity in the warp.
◦ Copy Original check box—Copies the original entity in the warp after you have completed it.
◦ Facet Preview check box—Displays a preview of the warped geometry within the feature. Facet Preview is unavailable if the selection consists only of facet geometry, curves, or both.
▪ Facet Preview slider—Increases or decreases the preview quality.
▪ Facet Preview box—Specifies a preview quality value from 0 to 100.
◦ Direction collector—Displays the coordinate system or reference plane selected for the warp.
• List
◦ Warp list—Lists each warp procedure within the current Warp feature.
▪ 
—Moves the insertion arrow to the beginning of the list.
—Moves the insertion arrow to the beginning of the list.▪ 
—Moves the insertion point back by one item.
—Moves the insertion point back by one item.▪ 
—Moves the insertion point forward by one item.
—Moves the insertion point forward by one item.▪ 
—Moves the insertion arrow to the end of the list.
—Moves the insertion arrow to the end of the list.▪ 
—Deletes the selected warp procedure from the list.
—Deletes the selected warp procedure from the list.• Options
Contains the scale, move, and rotate options. If you selected Selection next to Transform on the tab, the options are applied to selected entities. If you selected Jack, the options are applied to the jack.
◦ Scale—Point to a marquee edge center and drag an arrow to scale in one dimension, drag a marquee edge center to scale in two dimensions, or drag a marquee corner to scale in three dimensions.
▪ From and To box—Displays references for scale actions.
▪ Scale box—Sets a value for the scale action.
▪ 
—Exports the parameter value for editing outside of Warp.
—Exports the parameter value for editing outside of Warp.▪ Toward list—Sets scaling to Opposite to scale uniformly in the opposite direction of the selected corner, edge, or face, or Center to scale symmetrically in reference to the center of the marquee.
◦ Move—When Selection is selected on the tab, drag the background or the jack to move the selected geometry. When Jack is selected, drag the jack to move it.
▪ X, Y, and Z boxes—Sets position in the x-, y-, and z-direction.
▪ —Exports the parameter value for editing outside of Warp.
—Exports the parameter value for editing outside of Warp.▪ Relative check box—Moves the jack relative to the marquee without changing the values in the X, Y, and Z boxes.
◦ Rotate—When Selection is selected on the tab, drag the jack handles to rotate the selected geometry. When Jack is selected, drag the jack handles to rotate the marquee.
▪ Active handle box—Displays the jack handle that rotates around the axis.
▪ Rotation axis box—Sets the jack handle about which the jack rotates.
▪ Angle box—Sets the rotation angle.
▪ —Exports the parameter value for editing outside of Warp.
—Exports the parameter value for editing outside of Warp.• Properties
