Options

• :MODIFY_FACE - select the face to be modified. A surface mesh is automatically created on the face. The points at which the grid lines intersect are referred to as the nodes of the mesh.
• :BACK - go back one step in the modification cycle.
• :ADD_CURVE - add an extra curve to the surface mesh to reduce the surface area affected by the modification.
• :DELETE_CURVE - remove a curve from the surface mesh to increase the surface area affected by the modification.
• :CHANGE_NODE - select the mesh node to be dynamically modified.
• :MOD_METHOD - select the method by which to modify the position of the mesh node. The various methods are as follows:

  Modification Option	Description
  :NOR_DIST	Move the node a specified distance in the direction of the surface normal at the node.
  :DIR_DIST	Move the node a specified distance in a direction specified using MEAS_DIR_3D_SA.
  :NORMAL	Adjust the direction of the normal at the node using MEAS_DIR_3D_SA.
  :WEIGHT	Change the weighting at the selected node.
  :LOCAL_COORD	Move the node by specifying a point in 3D space using a local coordinate system in which the node represents the origin.

• :MULTIVIEW - select the multiview in which the screen is divided into quadrants for the location of a point in 3D space.
• :CHECK - automatically checks part integrity during the skin operation.
