Flowing objects along a surface


Learn how to use the command FlowAlongSrf in Rhino to morph any selection onto a target surface.

Thanks, I have been using this 'Flow along surface' lately and this is a good tutorial.
I would suggest using the UV to extract a surface into a flat planar surface for the objects to be flowed. This helped me a lot when I found this out.
Anyway to have rigid always on in the Flow options ?

Hi aubergine2001,
Thanks for the feedback! Matching UV parameters between the base and the target surface can surely be helpful as well with FlowAlongSrf.

You can write a command macro to always use the rigid option in Tools>Options>RhinoOptions>Aliases... choose a hot key/alias and then type this as the command macro
! _flowalongsrf pause _rigid
