reverse curve direction?

Post by martin_mrt »

Hey there!

Quick question: is it possible in MOHO to reverse the direction of a Curve?
I came across that issue today when working with assymetrical brushes where it would be (or is?) very helpful.

thanks in advance for any answer!

I'm not aware of a way to reverse a curve's direction.

What I've done in the past was duplicate a brush's artwork and edit the brush art. For example, if the brush were an arrow, I would rotate the art 180 degrees to change its direction.

If this is a native Moho brush, there are additional considerations.

You will want to copy the brush file or folder that you need to edit from the program directory here...

C:\Program Files\Moho\Moho 14\Resources\Support\Common\Brushes

...and place the copy in your Custom Content Folder. Then, you need to rename the file or folder so it appears as an alternative brush and not a replacement. Now you can change the copy's artwork.

After editing the brush, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L, and the alternative brush should appear at the end of the Brushes window.

Even though it's rare when I've had to do the above, it makes me think we should have Mirror and Rotate options in the Brushes window.

Hey Greenlaw,
Thanks for the Reply!
That is the way i went for now.
I agree that a flipping option would be super for the Brush. It would do exactly what I had in mind with the curve direction reversal!
