Stitch
surface node
Stretches two curves or surfaces to cover a smooth area.
See also: Join, Fillet, Bridge
This node can also be used to create certain types of upholstered fabrics such as cushions and parachutes.
If a second input is given, it must contain one surface that the primitives in the first input can stitch to. The left input can contain either faces or surfaces; in either case, each primitive in the first input is stitched to a parametric area of the surface in the second input in such a way that the parametric area allocated to each primitive is the same and the size of all areas added together equals the parametric range specified in the R Width (see below).
Please refer to the Align OP for a discussion of “left” and “right” primitives as well as the option of an auxiliary input.
Parameters
|
Group |
Subset of geometry to stitch. |
|
Stitch |
Allows stitching of subgroups of N primitives or patterns of primitives. |
|
N |
Pattern to stitch. |
|
Wrap Last to First |
If this option is turned on, the last stitched primitive is stitched to the first stitched primitive, creating a closed loop. |
|
Direction |
Direction in which stitching occurs. |
|
Tolerance |
Minimizes modification to the input sources. |
|
Bias |
Which primitive remains unaffected [0,1]. |
|
Left/Right UV |
Point on left/right primitive to begin/end the stitch. |
|
LR Width |
Width of the right and left segments of the stitch. |
|
Stitch |
Moves a single row from each primitive to coincide. |
|
Tangent |
Modifies neighboring rows on each primitive to create identical slopes |
|
Sharp partials |
Creates sharp corners at the ends of the stitch when the stitch partially spans a primitive. |
|
Fixed Intersection |
Allows specification of which side of each slope is modified. |
|
LR Scale |
Direction and position of the tangential slopes. |
