Editing a Surface Boundary

You can modify a surface boundary using its control points. You can deform the boundary by pulling the control point or the mesh line at that point.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.
  1. Select the surface boundary you wish to edit.
  2. From the Edition section of the action bar, click Control Points .
    Control points and lines are displayed along that boundary.

    Important: By default all control points are selected. Click a specific point to deform the boundary at this point only, or select a set of points using the Ctrl-key or Shift-key while clicking (multi-selection capabilities).
  3. Modify the boundary pulling on its control points or the mesh line.


  4. Click OK in the Control Points dialog box.
    The boundary is modified.

    Important: Only the boundary and its control points are modified. Any other boundary of the surface is not affected by these modifications. See also Using Control Points.
