Directed Mesh

Bal21 · December 6, 2021, 16:46

Hi Again,

I know that I'm asking a very simple question, but I'm stuck trying to figure what I'm missing for 10 hours.

Simple, I'm trying to generate a directed mesh. The source & target surfaces are rectangular.
So I know that eventually I need to define the "patch topology" to be able to activate the "batch mesh", etc.
But I'm unable to activate the patch mesh. Can you have a look at the picture of the source surface?

Any hint is really appropriate.

Hi.

You should create a patch mesh under source meshes. Then you can use auto populate to create initial points at vertexes. Lastly, you can select any line and with the split tool you can devide the line to desired number of points.

I have tried to add an image. I hope I could

Thanks a lot. I will give it another try and revert.
