Find it in: JPattern Design toolbar

Steps

  1. Choose the curve that you want to reduce
  2. Click the point where you want to set the new start
  3. Click the point where you want to set the new end
  4. Repeat point 2 and point 3 to create other partializations or right-click to exit the command

Remarks

The partialization can be reverted using the same command, except if used on a base curve (in that case use Undo)

Find it in: JPattern Design toolbar

Steps

  1. Start the command and brush over the curves you want to partialize: the coloured portions will be removed.
  2. When satisfied, press ENTER or right-click to confirm and partialize the curves.
