Pin Material Tag

Basic Tag

Tag Properties

Active

Here you can temporarily disable the Pin Material tag without losing the stored reference.

Record

This button enables you to record the current point positions and defines them as a new reference.

Reset

This button resets the object to its original state which is stored in the Pin Material tag.

Only polygonal objects can be reset and recorded. The reference is created directly. All other objects (Generators, primitives etc.) cannot be reset or recorded because they have no points or polygons. Only if they are deformed are they internally converted to Polygon objects which can then be deformed. The reference for the Pin Material tag is created from this internal Polygon object.
