make flat/make curved wonders

Hi, I have a question regarding the make flat/make curved feature under the geodetic pivot (docs don't seem to explain a lot about that)

does the curving applies only on the pivot for static meshes (just modifying the transforms) or is does it warp all the vertices according to the geoid?

+ the buttons aren't actually toggles (if you press one several times, several stacked operations are applied which can be confusing)

thanks for all info you can provide :)

Hello!

Yes, these buttons kinda mysterious :)

It affects both. You can see geometry modified if you curve a really big plane or decal mesh multiple times. Usually, it's not so noticeable. Pivots are also being shifted when you press Make Curved/Flat.

We'll see how documentation can be improved regarding this feature.

Thanks!

ok thanks for the extra info.

I reckon all this can be also found inthe API GeodeticPivot class, I'll dig that,

nice day!
