Deforms surfaces or trimmed
surfaces by moving their CVs in a normal (perpendicular) or tangential
direction.
To move CV normals
In the Tool Palette, select Transform
> Modify > Move CV Normal or click the Move
CV Normal icon. The system prompts you to select surface
CVs.
Click a CV to select it. To select several
CVs, hold down the Shift key as well. You can also
click a hull line to select an entire row of CVs at once. The system
prompts you to use the mouse buttons to move CVs.
You can drag the active CVs using the
mouse:
left mouse button drags along the normal
and back again
middle mouse button drags along a U curve
of the surface (the height of the CV above the surface is maintained)
right mouse button drags along a V curve
of the surface (the height of the CV above the surface is maintained)
You can type values for
CV displacements in the N (normal), U, and V directions (in ABS or REL mode).

Mouse sensitivity
Controls how far you
have to move the mouse to move the picked CVs. To perform fine detailed
work, increase the mouse sensitivity. To move CVs quickly, decrease the
mouse sensitivity.
