Match Properties - pick source PathCurve and apply its selected properties to destination PathCurves. PATH - options to manage Path Curves collection. This setting will affect CP_Item orientation too. Reference Plane Direction - defines the World Axis that will correspond with "along path curve" orientation direction. Exclusion pattern ( True-False ), mode ( Global, Local, PerPath ) and a list of individual transforms to exclude from are available. Transform Exclusions - allows to keep some Items unaffected by Transforms. It can be adjusted here to enhance the item spacing or overlapping control. By default, Item Size is derived from its bounding box World X dimension. Size Override - allows to redefine Item's World_X size (this dimension determines the Spacing calculations if 'Size Affects Spacing' setting is enabled). Order Mode - defines the way multiple items are distributed along path curves.Available modes: Local (default), Global, Per Path and FromControlBitmap.įromControlBitmap order mode will use image luminescence information to determine item placement - brighter values=higher item order index. Allows to redefine item distribution order or use Random order. Item Order - only available if multiple items are defined. While first set of objects is selected it is possible to distribute all selected objects as separate Items with automatic base point placement in predefined bounding box position. Note that the order of selecting objects in each Item determines profiles continuity/availability for curves (Lofts/Sweeps) and points (Interpolated Curves). Pick Multiple Items - define multiple Items. Pick Item - define new Item (new set of objects for single Item can be selected). ITEM - options to manage Item collection.
For example: T,T,F ( True, True, False ) will create loft from profiles 1-2-3, leave a gap between 3-4 and continue with loft between 4-5-6 and so on RANDOM option is also available. Loft Pattern / Curve Pattern - defines the pattern of profile pairs to create profile geometry between. Loft Type - Normal, Loose, Straight, Tight and Developable loft types are available.Ĭurve Degree – Interpolated Curve degrees 1 or 3 are available.Ĭap - while enabled, Loft/Sweep surfaces will be capped if possible. IterpCrv - Interpolated Curve from Profile points. Note: use single profile (count=1) sweeping along polycurve path to keep the profile polysurface connected. Sweep1 - Sweep1 surface from Profile curves. Note: If more than 1 item defined, the order of item's component selection keeps proper Profiles continuity Loft/Sweep surfaces can be created from Curves and Interpolated Curves from Points. This menu is available only if Curves or Points are part of Item's objects set. PROFILES - Armadillo can create new geometry from arrays of Items. OFFSET - offset of Items from PathCurve or BaseSurface along normal direction. EndAngle or Incremental modes are available for defined Angle value. StartAngle and Angle can be adjusted here. ROTATE - rotation of Item along the PathCurve. Note: You can switch ScaleNodes visibility with: 'Settings > Show ScaleNodes Only' (red nodes only will be shown if active). Turning ON EnableNonUniform allows to enter separate values for X,Y and Z scale factors (disabled at start). It is possible to pick any item and assign ScaleNode - it will be used to calculate the incremental item scale. ScaleNodes are indicated in red while interpolated ScaleFactors are cyan color. Armadillo will use ScaleNodes and linear interpolate the values between them.
SCALE - each Item's scale can be adjusted from here.
Note that all kinds of transformations (Regular, Random, Control-Curve or FromBitmap) will be combined in the final solution.
