Re: Edge Constrain in Modo?
I'm was not being dismissive(english is not my first language, and never knew "shenaningans" could have such a negative connotation, and for that I apologize), I'm well aware of the flexibility of the system, it's just that after conducting a few experiments last night I started to get the conclusion that what could be a… -
Edge Constrain in Modo?
For all Modo users at Polycount, I would like to know if there is a "Edge Constrain" feature similar to one in 3Ds Max. It's one of the features I use the most in Max but never could find an equivalent in Modo. For example, using the scale tool to slide the selected vertexes along the border edge without… -
Re: Edge Constrain in Modo?
I know this is just a basic example, but: Use symmetry and the move tool, and set the action center to element (Alt+Z) and select the diagonal edge. In other situations workplanes might help you do a similar thing. In other cases it might just be easier to slice new edges in. The only constraint mode I've used is… -
Re: Edge Constrain in Modo?
While an edge constraints of some sort would be neat; it isn't a necessity: that example is perfectly doable with element action centers (And calling them shenanigans is unfairly dismissive—action centers are very powerful and central to modeling in modo. I'd struggle to list something, excluding basic features, that I use… -
Re: Edge Constrain in Modo?
The problem with sliding the entire edge is that changes the position of the vertex on the other end. In some situations it can be a partial solution, but in some cases it may not be desirable. @Bek My example was simple indeed, but I'm afraid in more complex scenarios it could probably require a really complex of… -
Re: Edge Constrain in Modo?
Well, consider this piece of geometry that could be a piece of armor of some sort. Suppose I want to slide the selected vertexes at same time along their edges. Note how the model is offset from the world origin and the vertexes are asymmetrical in relation to the entire model, providing a non-trivial example. Selecting… -
Re: Edge Constrain in Modo?
Yeah, if you use the move tool with an element axis center you'd have to do them one by one: not a problem in this case since there's only two of them; and the object is symmetrical so you could just do one side then duplicate it over. The slide tool does give weird results with that example, but I didn't even know you… -
Re: Edge Constrain in Modo?
When I wrote my reply last night I added that first sentence as a disclaimer of some sort; now I'm thinking I was unnecessarily guarding. Could you come up with any examples where element axis and/or align workplane to selection fail? They might be interesting to look at. With symmetry you can always delete half / part of…
