Hi OSTexo, thanks for the video link. Yes I think the Factor is the same thing as Bulge in MoI.

But I try pretty hard to avoid really complex UIs with 30 or 40 controls in them like they've got there. But dragging points in the view wouldn't clog things up in the same way so that would probably be feasible.

Hello Michael,

I agree 1000% on the VSR interface, it's not very usable. I happen to think an in-view method would be vastly superior anyway since you could snap to other geometry.

You could get away with one more drop down in the Blend interface if you were able to specify continuity per side. Bulge could be specified in interface as well as Ratio, which is likely poor terminology from VSR since it means nothing to the average user. Ctrl and Shift functionality to change Bulge and Ratio (name changed) options per side with appropriate feedback to let the user know their state, but no need for additional interface elements in dialog. Icing on the cake would be being able to drag and snap the blend along the input curves and to create a curve off of an input surface at an angle, maybe snapping that in view to geometry. So one drop down and one dialog slider to get all that functionality sounds close with the only other consideration being a visual state helper.

Hello,

Here's a Blend dialog sample. Terminology, e.g. Ratio should be tweaked, but the structure is there. No need for sliders when the process is in view. Bulge and Ratio run in lockstep by default until key press or manual entry?
