Expand Edges

The SubDExpandEdges command expands selected SubD edges into faces.

Command-line options

Offset

The offset settings determine the width of the inserted quad faces. The width is the proportional amount of the crossing edge length in the flat SubD.

Small / Medium / Large

Slides each vertex along the crossing edge with a proportional amount of 0.125 (small), 0.25 (Medium), or 0.5 (Large).

 

Custom

Allows entering any number between 0.05 and 0.95 for the proportional amount.

Variable

This option is only available when a single edge chain is selected. It allows setting different widths at both ends of the edge chain.

 

Style
Single

Replaces each input edge with a quad face.

Double

Adds two quad faces adjacent to each input edge.

Ahalf / Bhalf

Adds quad faces on the (A) or (B) side of input edges.
