    • 4 Methods for Generating Heterogenous [Parametric] Tailings (Also known by name ‘Metamorphosis’ Patterns)

• Curve
  • • Polygon Area: Create a polygon with predefined area
    • Divide Curve Variable: Divides a curves based on curvature and optional Maximum Tolerance
    • Loop Truncate: Truncates (Facets) a 2D or 3D Pattern 'Recursively'
    • Mirrored Subdivide Quad: Divides a Cell and Mirrors the pieces alternately (usefull notion in Islamic Patterns)
• Mesh
  • • Mesh Topology: Retrieves full topology of Mesh
    • Mesh Cap: Caps all holes by covering Naked Edges
• Surface
  • • Panelized Sum Surface: Creates a Planar Quad panelization on a surface, generated by two profile curves
