dropoffLocator is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command adds one or more dropoff locators to a wire curve, one for each selected curve point. The dropoff locators can be used to provide localized tuning of the wire deformation about the curve point.// create a wire deformer // polyPlane -w 1 -h 1 -sx 25 -sy 25 -ax 0 1 0 -cuv 2 -ch 1; curve -d 3 -p -10 0 0 -p -6 0 10 -p -3 0 -10 -p 10 0 0 -k 0 -k 0 -k 0 -k 1 -k 1 -k 1; select -r pPlane1; wire -w curve1; // add a locator at curve point 0.5, with envelope 2 and percent 1 select -r curve1.u[0.5]; dropoffLocator 2.0 1.0 wire1;
