Creating a Matching Constraint

Defining the Continuity to keep at Opposite End Points or Edges

You can specify continuity constraints at source and target curve end points or surface edges.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin:
  • In Me > Preferences > Common Preferences > Object Properties > 3D Shape > Display, 3D Shape Infrastructure tab, Display in Tree section, select Constraints to see the constraints in the tree.
  • Open a 3D shape containing two surfaces with high orders.

Create a Matching Constraint with Free Continuity at the Source Opposite Edge

  1. Select Source and Target.
  2. Select G1 Exact and deselect Diffusion .
  3. Click Apply.
    The source is connected with G1 continuity to the target. Only two control point rows are moved.
  4. Undo the last step.
  5. Select Diffusion .
    The Source Opposite options are enabled. In the work area, a continuity label appears at the opposite source edge.
  6. Right-click the label and select Free continuity (F).
  7. Click Apply.

All control points including the opposite edge are moved.
