Split/Combine Morph Volumes
Use the Morph Volumes: Split/Combine tool to split morph volumes using a single or multiple locations along an edge, combine adjacent morph volumes along shared faces, join pairs of separate morph volumes, or equivalence any number of morph volume faces using a search distance.
-
From the Morph ribbon, click the tool.

Choose the operation to perform from the guide bar.
Option Description Split Pick a split location on a morph volume edge using the mouse. Reposition the split location using snaps, or use the microdialog to change number of splits.
- Toggle between splitting the selected
edge with a single cut
or multiple cuts
. Use the text box to adjust the
position of a single cut as a ratio of the edge length, or adjust
the number of multiple cuts
- Enforce tangency
of the adjacent volumes after the split.
- Generate morph handles at the
vertices of the split location (recommended). Disabling this option
will not allow any morphing of the vertices, edges, or faces at the
split location.Combine Combine rows of adjacent morph volumes that share a common face. Use the microdialog to toggle tangency of the new combined volume with its neighbors.
- Enforce tangency
of any adjacent volumes after the combination.
- Keep morph handles at the vertices of
the combined location.Join Join morph volumes that do not share a common face. Use the microdialog to choose the join location and toggle tangency.
- Choose the location to join the
volumes. Either move the faces of both volumes to their midpoint, or
keep the face of the first or second selected volume.
- Enforce tangency
of the newly joined volumes.
- Automatically
register any new inner nodes to their respective enclosing volumes
after they are joined.Equivalence Bulk join any non-adjacent morph volumes that have faces within the specified search distance. Use the microdialog to optionally restrict the search to only selected volumes, and toggle their new tangency.
- Use this button to optionally select
candidate volumes to equivalence. If left empty all volumes are
considered candidates.
- Enforce tangency
of the newly joined volumes.
- Automatically
register any new inner nodes to their respective enclosing volumes
after they are joined. -
