Sew Cage

Use the Sew Cage command to connect open control cage edges of a subdivision feature.

  • You select two sets of open edges to be connected. You can select the edges directly or by selecting cage faces near an open edge.

  • Each set needs the same number of edges.

  • You can select edges in any order.

  • When there are gaps, the selected cage edge pairs are averaged. The continuity setting of the connecting surface is inherited from the target edge.
