The Extend Ply—By Reference feature lets you extend the boundary of a ply up to a specified reference, offering enhanced design precision.

You can choose from multiple reference types, including curves, edges, ply boundaries, or zone boundary loops. Additionally, you can use either an outer loop or an inner loop as a reference, and the extension is performed entirely within the layup quilt.
