Preferences

WeightLattice exposes addon preferences that define the default behavior of the workflow. They are available in Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > WeightLattice.

Creation defaults

These values are used when a new lattice is generated:

  • Resolution U: Default number of lattice points on the U axis.

  • Resolution V: Default number of lattice points on the V axis.

  • Resolution W: Default number of lattice points on the W axis.

  • Padding: Extra space added around the weighted bounding box.

  • Strength: Default modifier strength.

  • Interpolation: Default interpolation mode.

Modifier settings

These preferences affect how the lattice behaves in the stack:

  • Modifier Position: Place the modifier at the top or bottom of the stack.

  • Show in Edit Mode: Display the deformation while editing the mesh.

  • Show on Cage: Match the edit cage to the modifier result.

Workflow settings

These values affect cleanup and selection logic:

  • Auto-cleanup Vertex Groups: Remove the group when the lattice is removed, if it is no longer used elsewhere.

  • Weight Threshold: Minimum weight value included in the lattice bounding box.

Per-lattice properties

The same values can be edited per-lattice from the Properties dialog in Edit Lattice (press X or use the panel button). This dialog is useful when one specific cage needs settings different from the addon defaults.
