Patch modification – Point
The shape of a patch can be modified by moving an arbitrary patch point (see figure
below). Similar to the curve modelling, point modifications have a considerably
stronger effect on the patch shape than control point modifications (see
figure Point/control point modification by the same value).
Activated diagnosis functions like sections and matching diagnoses are dynamically
updated.

Delta, Normal
If the option Express is switched on, the point movement can be fixed in direction
of the normal in the selected point position.
o Dynamic point movement:
If only Normal is switched on, the point can be moved dynamically.
Select the point and move the cursor while keeping the left mouse
button pressed.
NOTE:
With the right mouse button you may activate the context menu
Mousewarp.
o Numerical point movement:
If the option Delta is switched on additionally, the point is moved by
the specified numerical value.
Fix: Model, Plane, X, Y, Z/Depth
For the description of these options please refer to Point and control point

The order of the patch in U and V direction may be modified.
TIP:
The order can also be entered directly via keyboard shortcuts (for this see
How to change the order in “Tips and tricks”).
