CreateAttributesModifier
This command creates an AttributesModifier in the mesh construction history.
Using This Command
Select geometry and apply the command.
- Select faces, edges, or vertices.
- Right click and choose Attributes from the listed options.
- The software adds an AttributesModifier to the mesh construction history.
Figures
An AttributesModifier enumerates absolute vertex position values for the selected
faces, edges, or vertices. You can type in new vertex position values or
simply use the vertex position information as necessary. Scenome also has
a "modifier" called HomogenizeVertices that can homogenize the position of
two vertices in separate meshes.

AttributesModifiers Lack Delta Parameters
The mesh construction history can make it difficult to use AttributesModifiers for modeling as, unlike a TransformModifier, this modifier sets the absolute position of the vertex but does not include delta values. [Delta values are not included because the TransformModifier is responsible for position changes that take delta into account.] The "problem" occurs when the construction history updates itself but the vertex still uses the absolute position set in the AttributesModifier. For that reason, if you wish to set the absolute position of a vertex with a TransformModifier, which will update correctly, you must convert the AttributesModifier to a TransformModifier. Scenome provides a command to perform this action.
