Constraint System
- The Constraint System lets you constrain a surface or curve based on the command executed on it. This forms a relationship between geometry, building a live-editing network where connected objects update together.
- Clicking once on the constraint icon opens the Constraint Options menu, where you can adjust the constraint settings for the specific command.
Currently, constraints cannot be saved in the project file. They are only active during the current session.
Surface Constraint
- Constraints can be applied to solid commands, allowing you to control the behavior of the resulting geometry. The following table lists the available solid commands and their constraint options:
| Command Name | Option | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Square | Specify the Continuity between G0, G1, G2, or Free; Partial Alignment adjustment; Boundary adjustment; Analysis settings | Option to create constraints; Remembers last used Create Constraints setting |
| Surface Align | Specify the Continuity between G0, G1, G2, or Free; Partial Alignment adjustment; Boundary adjustment; Analysis settings | Option to create constraints |
| Project Align | Specify the Continuity between G0, G1, G2, or Free; Partial Alignment adjustment; Boundary adjustment; Analysis settings | Automatically creates constraints |
Curve Constraint
- Constraints can also be applied to curve commands, allowing you to control the behavior of the resulting geometry. The following table lists the available curve commands and their constraint options:
| Command Name | Option | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Vertex Align | Specify the Continuity between G0, G1, G2, or G3 | Option to create constraints |
| Bridge Curve | Specify the Continuity between G0, G1, G2, or G3 | Option to create constraints; Remembers last used Create Constraints setting |
| Bridge Vertex | Specify the Continuity between G0, G1, G2, or G3 | Option to create constraints; Remembers last used Create Constraints setting |
| Bridge Edge | Specify the Continuity between G0, G1, G2, or G3 | Option to create constraints; Remembers last used Create Constraints setting |
