When To Update End Surface

Typically, the user will edit the radii and/or eccentricity curves guided by visual feedback regarding the shape of the end surface. This panel presents the choice of when the end surface should be regenerated during this process. There are three options:

• Manually - the end surface is regenerated from the defining curves when the user selects End Surfaces > Generate End Surface or clicks <Shift+S>.

• End of edit - the end surface is regenerated when the user releases the LMB after dragging a data point, or after nudging a data point, on a defining curve.

• Real time - the end surface is regenerated continuously as a data point is dragged, or nudging with an arrow key held down. This may not work well if your computer is slow, and/or the defining curves have a lot of data points in them.
