Custom Prongs

Custom Prongs

The Custom Prongs command allows users to replace the prongs automatically generated by RhinoArtisan tools (such as Pavé or Dynamic Prongs) with a custom prong designed by the user. This offers complete creative freedom to apply unique or technically specific prong styles in your designs.

How it works

When the icon is activated, RhinoArtisan will prompt the user to:

  1. Select the custom prong object(s) to use as a replacement. You can select one or several 3D objects modeled by the user.
  2. Once selected, the system will automatically replace all existing prongs with instances of the custom prong, maintaining their original positions and orientations.

Available Parameters

  • Scale:
    • No: Keeps the custom prong at its original size, with no scaling applied.
    • 1D: Scale along a single axis (useful for adjusting height or thickness).
    • 2D: Scale along two axes (e.g., width and depth).
    • 3D: Uniform scaling in all three directions.
  • Move in Z: Allows vertical adjustment of the custom prong to better fit the design or stone height.
  • Delete Originals: When enabled, the original prongs being replaced are removed once the placement is confirmed. When disabled, the original prongs remain in the scene alongside the new custom prongs.
