Change Details

In this branch users have new Twist Method options in the Curve's Object Data Properties Tab. Users can now choose "Y-Up", "X-Up", and "Normal" Twist Methods from the pull-down menu in addition to the options that were previously supported (Z-Up, Minimum, and Tangent). The Y-Up and X-Up twist methods work similarly to the Z-Up method, but will use the corresponding orthogonal axis. The Normal twist method is just a 90-degree twist from the tangent Twist method. These new options provide a more complete set of initial twist settings. Examples: **//New Twist Modes//** **Normal Twist Mode:** {F10216276} **Y-Up Twist Mode:** {F10216277} **X-Up Twist Mode:** {F10216274} Previous Twist Modes: **Z-Up Twist Mode:** {F10216275} **Minimum Twist Mode:** {F10216278} **Tangent Twist Mode: ** {F10216279}

Problem: There is not a straightforward way to go from the initial tangent twist to the perpendicular twist without changing the twist value of each Control Point by 90 degrees. In this revision users have three new Twist Methods in the Curve's Object Data Properties Tab. Users can now choose "Y-Up", "X-Up", and "Normal" Twist Methods from the pull-down menu in addition to the options that were previously supported (Z-Up, Minimum, and Tangent). The Y-Up and X-Up twist methods work similarly to the Z-Up method, but will use the corresponding orthogonal axis. The Normal twist method is just a 90-degree twist from the tangent Twist method. This could be achieved through an addon. I chose to add these options here though because they provide a useful basis set of initial twist settings.
