Copy/Paste

Copy Paste from One Strand

Copy

• Select a curve (or strand geometry if in geometry selection mode) to copy the setting.

Paste

• After a strand or (strands) is copied, 'Left Click' on the Paste button will display several pasting functions.

• Paste All - will paste every settings from the copied strand.

Paste All - Notice the aim/rotation setting is not pasted. This is done purposely.

When pasting, the aim and rotation settings are not included by default to avoid altering the current card orientation. To copy these settings, use "Select Custom Paste Options" and paste the aim or rotation manually.

• Paste Shape - paste only the profile shapes, and crease (tubes only) settings.

Paste Shape

• Paste Attributes - paste only the strand control parameters.

Paste Attributes

• Paste UV - paste only the UV (and the UVs information).

Paste UV

• Select Custom Paste Options - will open a window and you can choose which parameters to paste.

Paste Custom Selected - Here we are pasting only Subdivision, Scale, and the Scale Ramp values. Notice the twist is not copied over

The "Path Spans" option isn't available and this because pasting spans on curves can cause dramatic change to strand shape (imagine, a curly strands where it needs 30 CVs to hold the shape, and pasting from a strand that only has 5 CVs will cause undesired look).

Randomly Paste UVs

• Select the strands with the UVs you like to include. Click 'Copy' to store their information.

• Then, select all the other strands that you like to randomize UVs on, and select "Randomly Paste UVs".

As topology of strands can vary, UV Retaining System is required in this process. When more strands are selected, this may result in slightly longer processing times.
