CURVE FILL
To fill curves in tube form, please use the Tube Tab.
  • ‘Filling in’ the void of a tube, given that the ‘outer’ curves are present. 

​To fill curves in card form, please use the Card Tab.​

Tube Tab
- Sometimes, you may wish to extract a center curve from selected curves only. Using the 'Set and Generate Center Curve' button will work, but if you wish to continue to create center curve for your next selection, the center curve created previously will be replaced. 
​
- To use, simply select a bunch of curves, and click on "Create Unique Center Curve'. Each time you created a center curve, all center curves named as "xgtCenterCurve_unique**" will be selected. If you do not want them to be selected, please rename them.
"Create From Groups" - Tick this checkbox on if you have curves in groups and you wish to create them all at once.
1. make sure you select the ‘outer’ curves in a clockwise or counterclockwise order, click on “Generate Center Curve”, this will give you a curve named “xgtCenterCurve”. 
2. Move the CVs of this curve to best fit the ‘center’ of your overall shape.
3. You can then fill in one layer of curves at a time with the “Fill” button
  • Distance - is the distance from the “center curve” to be filled in from
  • Offset - if you would like the new curve to be placed in the ‘middle’ of the outer curves, leave offset at 0.5​
4. Use the 'Auto Fill' option to fill layers of curves from the center curve.
Card Tab
​Same logic as in Tube Tab, make sure you select the curves in orderly manner. 
  • Number of Curves: determines how many in-between curves to generate

​
  • ​Delete original middle curve(s) after creation: Sometimes you might not want those original middle curves. Checking this on will delete the original middle curves after the process.​
  • Respect Selection Counts: Turn this on to tell the tool to treat select curves in 'batches' or 'groups', based on your selection order. For example, if you have 4 curves selected, and set count to 2, the first and second curve (2 curves) you selected, will be treated as a batch, while the third and fourth curves (2 curves) that you selected will be treated as another batch.

​
NOTE: For inner layers, sometimes you may not want the same number of curves to be generated, in this case, you can use the 'Select Every Other Curves on List' button to select half of the defined curves, then click 'Generate Center Curve' again. This will then define half of the curve amount.
