The Regenerate tab is used to regenerate patches. Patches generated by the Patch and Curve Editor cannot be regenerated here
To regenerate patches
-
Select the patches from the list or use the All Toggle button and then click the Regenerate button.
The Only if needed Toggle button specifies that only those patches where the boundary curves have changed since the patch was defined, will be updated.
-
To force regeneration, deselect this Toggle button.
The patch list shows three columns, Patch, Fitted and Curves.
The Patch column shows the patch name and an icon to indicate the patch type and data form:

The patch data form is an indication of whether the patch data is flat or not before any continuity is set.
The Fitted column indicates whether a patch is fitted or not.
The Curves column indicates which curves were used to create the patch data for fitting (S=Sections, W=Waterlines, B=Buttocks).
By clicking the Right Mouse button over a list, a convenience menu is displayed. This provides facilities for displaying the currently selected patches (either fitted, unfitted or limits) or for interactively selecting patches from a graphics window.
