Editing Geometry Orders of a Surface

You can edit the geometry orders along U and V for the surfaces.

You can edit the order value:

  • By selecting a label indicating the order number, in this case you can only select an allowed order value.
  • By selecting a mesh line along the desired direction, in this case you can use increase or decrease commands, or select an allowed order value.

Allowed order values are defined by the geometry and the maximum allowed order value set in the Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Styling > FreeStyle Shape Design, General tab, Geometry section, Order option.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.
