Detail the shape of a seat cushion by setting edge weights

This example shows how shapes of the outside edges of a car seat are refined by setting weighting factors on control cage edges in the NX Realize Shape environment.

This seat was created using Symmetric Modeling without x-ray cage display.

1. Choose Home tab→Modify group→Set Weight .

2. On the Top Border bar, from the Selection Rule list, choose Loop.

3. Select the back and side loops of edges.

4. Drag the Percentage slider to 50.

5. Middle-click to apply the weighting factor.

6. Select the front loop of edges.

7. Drag the Percentage slider to 75.

This makes a sharper transition for the front edge of the seat.

8. Middle-click to continue setting edge weights or select another NX Realize Shape command.
