The Deform tool reshapes solid objects and NURBS surfaces to allow for easy exploration of sculptural shapes. The tool twists, tapers, bulges, and bends existing solid objects; the resulting objects are generic solids.

Mode |
Description |
|
Twist Solid
|
Twists the selected solid or NURBS surface to a specified angle |
|
Twist Face
|
Twists the selected face and the adjacent and tangent faces of a solid to a specified angle |
|
Taper Solid
|
Tapers the selected solid or NURBS surface to a specified ratio |
|
Bulge Solid
|
Bulges the selected solid or NURBS surface according to a specified ratio |
|
Bend Solid
|
Bends the selected solid or NURBS surface to a specified angle |
|
Symmetric
|
For Taper Solid, Bulge Solid, and Bend Solid modes, deforms the solid symmetrically |
|
Finite Length
|
For Bend Solid mode, deforms the solid within the length specified by the bend spine; the portion of the shape beyond the bend spine maintains the original tangency |
