Menu : TRIM

Command: Blend:Reshape

Shortcut : None

This command changes the shape of the target blend surface, while maintaining its tangency with the connected surfaces.

The blend should be selected as the target first. Varying two shape factors (one for each edge of the blends) alters the shape of the blend.

By default, the shape factors will be equal to 1.0 at both blend boundaries. The blend shape can be made tighter by assigning higher shape factors, or looser with lower ones.

With zero shape factors at both ends the blend will form a linear chamfer. The maximum value for the shape factor is 2.0 as above this value the blend may form a loop.

Examples of the extreme values are shown below. On the left the shape factor is 0 on both surfaces. In the middle the values are 1 – the original value. On the right the values are both 2.
