• References
◦ Geometry collector—Collects bodies, quilts, facets, or curves to warp.
◦ Direction collector—Collects a datum plane or coordinate system to define the direction of a warp.
• Tools
◦ Warp—Shapes geometry by dragging edges and corners of a marquee.
Warp—Shapes geometry by dragging edges and corners of a marquee.• Warp Settings
◦ Opposite—Sets the U-direction, and automatically sets the opposite point.
▪ Moves a corner toward the opposite corner along an edge when you drag an arrow that points along an edge.
▪ Moves a corner toward the opposite corner in reference to the geometry center when you drag an arrow that points along a face. The two neighboring corners follow symmetrically.
◦ Center (Alt + Shift)—Sets the U-direction, and the center point.
▪ Moves a corner and the opposite corner along an edge symmetrically in reference to the edge center when you drag an arrow that points along an edge.
▪ Moves all four corners symmetrically in reference to the geometry center when you drag an arrow that points along a face.
◦ Free (Alt)—Sets both the U-direction and V-direction. Moves only the selected corner independent of the other corners.
Tabs
• References
◦ Geometry collector—Displays the bodies or the group of curves, quilts, or facet geometry to warp.
◦ 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
