The Twist commands allow you to deform an object through rotation along an axis.

Twist

• Create a surface, polysurface or mesh o be twisted.

• Type twist

• Rhino prompts you to provide a base point. This is the point from which your object will be scaled from. Its position will not change.

• Rhino gives 2 options for the next input

  • Scale Factor → a multiplier of the original scale. This will be your only input (A multiplier of 2 scales your object 200%)
  • First Reference Point → The first reference point is a point in an axis you would like to change.

• Second Reference Point → the new location of the First Reference Point you will use to scale the entire object.

• In the demonstration below, we scale the lower right point, to the midpoint of the front edge, meaning a scale factor of .5
