Years ago (in Rhino) I was able to select control points along a M or an N of a surface, then scale/translate/rotate as needed. It seems like in Shark/viaCad one can turn on points that show only one surface direction, i.e. M but not N, and then each control point has to be selected manually. Thanks.

Do the values need to be the same? Why can't these values be different? Other Apps do this. There is even an option to add a U, or V, at a location along an edge or at a location on a surface by selecting the location on the surface.

See picture. Go to object resolution. rockyroad_us attached the following image(s): uv.jpg (140kb) downloaded 5 time(s). You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

I was thinking that when one turns on points for a surface those auto-magically appear. Zumer, exactly.
