DefineMorphing Parameters

To handle the shape of the model, Morphing Parameters will be created. Activate the CONTROLS> PARAMS [NEW] function. The Parameter card opens. The user can select the type of the parameter that is going to be defined through the Type pull-down menu.

Two Morphing parameters are needed to handle the depth of the embosses. To define the first parameter activate the CONTROLS> PARAMS [NEW]. In the card that appears select parameter type EXTEND, enter the name (Emboss_depth_1) for the parameter and confirm. Use the F6 key to orient the model according to the X-Z plane. Then select the Control Points that will be handled from the parameter and middle click to confirm. Select the Morphing Box Edges where the selected Control Points will slide on and confirm again.

This parameter Emboss_depth_1 handles the depth of the horizontal embosses.
