Paste Form Special
Updated: 12/17/2024
This function allows you to select the desired properties (Vertices Info, Opacity, Draw Order, etc.) when pasting a form, and paste them into a keyform.
How to paste basic forms
Click the [Modeling] menu -> [Edit Form] -> [Options for Paste Form Special].
When executed, a dialog box appears.
When [Paste Form] or [Blend Form] is executed, only the elements of the properties whose check boxes are selected will be applied.
Precautions
- The Paste Form Special function is only available when the dialog box is displayed.
- While the dialog box is hidden, the conventional paste behavior (paste all properties) is applied.
Contents of the dialog box for each object type
The properties that can be selected in the dialog box differ for each object, divided by tabs.
The [Select All] and [Deselect] buttons at the top of the dialog box allow you to select/deselect all properties in the selected tab.
ArtMesh
ArtPath
Rotation Deformer
Warp Deformer

| Invert coordinates | When this check box is selected, the vertex information is inverted. Axis: A green axis will appear on the canvas. Set the horizontal or vertical axis. Position: The center position for inversion can be set from [Auto setup] or [Manual setup]. Auto Setup: You can choose “Center of the Canvas,” “Center of Selected Object,” or “Center of Parent Deformer.” Manual Setup: Center the position of any value. Reverse Front and Back (Warp Deformer only): You can set how to handle the front and back upon inversion. When checked: The calculation for inversion will be done after reversing the front and back, so the object remains facing forward while only its position is inverted. When unchecked: Each vertex’s position is calculated to place it in a mirrored position across the axis, causing it to move along a path that rotates toward the front and inverts. |
[Example of use] Paste only opacity
[Copy Form] was executed only for the opacity (100%) of the ArtMesh, and [Paste Form] was executed only for the opacity (100%) on the other keys for which pasting was required.
Thus, you can select only the information you want to paste.
[Example of use] Reverse and paste a form
Let’s flip the hair clip on the right side of the hair and paste it on the left side of the hair.
Select the [Invert coordinates] check box to set the axis, position to be centered, etc.
This time, the image is inverted horizontally, and the position is set in the center of the canvas.
[Copy Form] and [Paste Form] will paste the form into the left side of the hair.
