Shape on Shape Deformation |
This command allows to compute a deformation according to 2 surfaces and different types of projection and matching.
Let's take a point named P on the shape to deform, a source shape (F1) and a destination shape (F2).
The computation of the equivalent of the point P (named P') on the shape F2 is done in 3 stages:
Stage 1: Projection
The point P is projected on the shape F1 using to 2 modes (Parallel or Nearest), you get the point P1.
Stage 2: Matching
Then the point P1 is reported on the shape F2 using 3 modes (Parallel, Normal or Nearest), you get the point P2.
Stage 1: Expansion
Then the position of the point P' is obtained by moving the point P2 using 2 modes (Parallel or Normal), a scale factor can be applied as well.

Creation stages / Use:
Select the Construction > Deformations > Shape on Shape Deformation... command from the drop-down menu.
Select the source shape.
Select the destination shape.
Choose the projection type of each point of the shape to modify on the source shape:
Parallel: the point P is projected on the shape F1 according to the given direction D.
Nearest: the point P is projected on the shape F1 according to the normal direction.

In blue: Parallel projection type according to the direction D. in red: Nearest projection type |
Choose the maching type between the source and the destination shapes:
Parallel: the point P1 is projected on the shape F2 according to the given direction D.
Normal: the point P1 is projected on the shape F2 according to a direction perpendicular to the shape F1.
Nearest: the point P1 is projected on the shape F2 according to the perpendicular direction.

In blue: Parallel projection type according to the direction D. In green: Normal projection type in red: Nearest projection type |
Choose the expansion type of each point of the deformed shape according to the destination shape:
Parallel: the position of point P' is computed by applying a translation of the point P2 according to the given direction D.
Normal: the position of point P' is computed by applying a translation of the point P2 according to the perpendicular direction with the shape F2.

Select the deformation direction. The first face intersecting this direction will be used for computing the deformation, it is recommended to use surfaces instead of solid.
|
|
The initial volume of the shape is not preserved after deformation. |
