Well the primary reason is that I only want to slide part of the edge loop. For example, in this instance, I want to select the red part of the edge loop and slide it closer to the next loop so that there is a consistent gap between them for when it gets turbosmoothed. Edge constrain doesn't work in this situation because…
I use CSslide http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/Meshtools-3-with-CSPolyTools Only drawback is that it moves the whole loop, not a section. Usually thats good enough for my needs. (like, 80% of the time) Ill look at the extrude problem tonight on my setup, to see if I got the same error. Could you post an example…
Maya has a tool called Slide Edge which allows you to select an edge loop or edge and slide it along a surface without changing the silhouette. Max has Constrain by edge/face/normal, which works the same for single edges, but doesn't really work if you have an edge loop on complex geometry, like an edge loop around the…
Yea looks like someone was scaling in object mode not sub-object? You really didn't need to reset xform, that's a bit like using a handgun to kill a fly. Just resetting the scale transform would have fixed it. Hierarchy tab > Reset > Transform/Scale The reset Xform utility resets the scale and transform just like above but…
