(1) SEARCH DISTANCE Mode

(1) SEARCH DISTANCE Mode

This is made active by setting a Distance value (in this example 100) in the interpolate box. This value remains current until changed, setting this value to 0 turns interpolation off again.

The Interpolate button is shown in red when it is active.

Once a Distance value has been set the coordinates of unselected nodes within a radius < Distance > of any explicitly selected nodes will have their coordinates updated as follows:

Where: C = Coordinate of this node
= Coordinate change due to Translation / Rotation / Scale
d = Distance from this node to nearest explicitly selected node
D = The specified Distance value
Order = The specified Order value

The Order value defaults to 1.0, giving a linear interpolation, but any positive value > 0.001 is permissible, and a sketch of the factor vs. distance is shown in the box. (In the figure above 0.5 has been used.)
