Add/Remove (+/-)

Use the Add(+) and Remove(-) tools to modify an existing PolyNURBS cage by adding or removing blocks. This allows you to quickly build the basic shape of a PolyNURBS object.

Add Blocks to Cage

Use the Add(+) tool to add blocks to the face of an existing PolyNURBS cage.

  1. On the PolyNURBS ribbon, select the Add Blocks to Cage (+) tool.

Tip:
  • Hold the Shift key to toggle between adding and removing blocks.
  • When editing PolyNURBS surfaces, click on a face to extrude all connected faces into a solid. Some polyNURBS surfaces cannot be extruded due to the break angle.
