`This demo will show the use of Former views for editting a forms object.
This demo will show the use of Former views for editing a forms object.
By definition, a Former view lets you change the form, or shape of an object.
We will start by demonstrating the One Former view mode.
In this mode, the front view always shows the Former view.
In X-Y mode, the right view displays the cross section shape.
In Y-Z mode, the top view displays the cross section.
The Former view lets you edit the shape of the object.
Use One Former view mode to keep two sides of the object symmetrical.
Front Symmetry lets you move points symmetrically in the Front View.
To change the cross section symmetry mode, first select New.
Then select a cross section symmetry mode from the requester.
To keep the form you were working with, select Yes from this requester.
To keep any key slices you have defined, select Yes from this requester.
Since the front view defines the object's shape from end to end,
We can make the object taper on one end.
The cross section view controls the shape of key slices in the object.
A square key slice makes the object's cross sections square shaped.
Since we start with a single key slice, all the cross sections become square.
We can add another key slice to the other end, or any point in between.
This way the object will transform in shape from one key slice to another.
In this case, from being square on one end, to star-shaped on the other.
Two Former views lets you use two views to edit the object shape.
This lets you edit the cross section AND all four sides of an object.
