Stick¶
A stick is a model-to-model support that uses a central hub and two branched sides.
What it is¶
- A two-ended contact element.
- Similar to a twig, but with a central joint and two branches meeting in the middle.
- Used for longer spans where a central hub is helpful.
Geometry¶
- Tip A and tip B contact the model.
- Each side runs from a model contact toward a central joint.
- The center joint acts as the hub.
Behavior¶
- Placement starts with one model contact and finishes with the other.
- The preview may switch between stick and twig behavior depending on distance.
- The central joint can be adjusted during editing.
Constraints¶
- Sticks do not use knots.
- Sticks do not attach to support shafts.
