Applying a Global Deformation

This command is only available when using FreeStyle Optimizer.
Now that both surfaces are linked, you want to modify all three surfaces according to a modification pattern you define in space, keeping all defined curvature continuities.
  1. Press and hold the Ctrl key, then successively select all three surfaces.

  1. Click the Global Deformation icon:

 

The 3D compass is displayed along with the Global Deformation dialog box into which you can specify deformation options: using an intermediate patch or an axis use.
In this case, use the default option: Intermediate surface use.

 
 
  1. Click Run in the Global Deformation dialog box to accept the deformation parameter definition.

 

The Control Points dialog box appears. Options selected in the previous tasks have been kept.

 
 

A patch with control points and mesh lines is displayed. It represents the planar patch, defined in the plane indicated by the compass, equivalent to the same bounding box as the selected surfaces.

 
  1. Use the control points and the mesh lines of the planar patch to deform it. The space transformation is defined between the initial patch and the deformed patch.

 

All surfaces are automatically and dynamically deformed according to this intermediate patch deformation.

  1. Do not change the options and click OK in the dialog box.

 

The final deformed surface looks like this.
