Hi blackboard

> >Is this curved edge the initial seed?
> Yes

What is the purpose of that? I mean using the curved edge as a seed and getting some but not all horizontal edges selected from it?

What does that help you accomplish?


It seems like maybe it should work only on lines and select all lines in the same object with the same direction as the seed line?

Hi Michael,

Your animated examples for Martin on how to use the snaps and construction lines for positioning a line at the tangent and perpendicular points, particularly this last one, is SO subtle and helpful!! I run into the challenge that Martin described and your solution is perfect, many thanks as always! Now, I just have to commit it to memory... ;-}

No.no,no.I not clearly explained
I want ring selection like on example like a polygonal
In Plasticity its realeased with curve edges depending on which side you clicked on it from horizontal or vertical

Thanks for those videos, Michael, they were most helpful.
I should have suspected you would have had this covered. :)

Maybe like this ? ;)
Selection Right to Left... vertically or horizontally depending of what do you want...
if you want Points ...just select a Point before
If you want Edges...just select one Edge before
If you want Faces...just select one Face before...

---

In this example its create easy
But i showed logic for that not for true example

---

Hi blackboard, I could cook up a script to do that, the conditions that it would target would be that the edges are lines and the surfaces are 4 sided.

Would that do what you need?

Hello Michael,
something is wrong with the Fillet function with ACIS. The Dimension and the Leader Text Tool does not show anything with ACIS. With SOLIDS ++ it works without any problems.

Hi blackboard,

Is this the kind of thing that you want?

Thanks for reporting this, I'm not sure yet why ACIS makes a rather loose approximation for cylinders here. I may need to ask their tech support about it.

Almost,i mean to select first edge like direction for ring.and with depending on direction select all possible edges

the script that you wrote only works on one face. and does not add a selection as in the video at the end

---

Maybe you can add this function?select all edge chain by one button?

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your support. I would be happy if there was a solution for this.

Hi blackboard,

I've posted an updated version with a few improvements http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=11063.1

1. adds to existing selection
2. compatible with a wide variety of faces
3. can be run in the middle of the Fillet command without cancelling Fillet
4. selection is undoable when using v5

Re:

There are already commands that do tangent propagation http://moi3d.com/forum/lmessages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8665.195

Also, ACIS in v5 does some automatic tangent propagation http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=11043.4

Hi,Michae I'm sorry that I'm writing about this for the third time, but OTOY users still cannot download the beta

---

Hi Blackboard, hopefully they should put it up soon, I sent to them last Thursday evening.

Please let me know if you still don't see it in the next couple of days.

I'm sorry because i didn't check right away.
This works only for imported files,I mean for those solids that are already in the scene

Hi blackboard,

re:

One is for imported files, the other one is for pasting in something from the clipboard.

If you want to do it with something already in the scene then use the paste one and use Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Shift+C to pick an origin point to copy the object to the clipboard first.

Michael i have another good feature for improve speed of modeling from plasticity
Add one more parameter to trim "Trim from surfaces\solids"
