Full Version: Direct Face Editing Snapping?

@Burr,

re:

Yes I want to have options for drawing on an object to automatically cut it.

There are a few things that I still need to figure out for it, like should it only do it on selected objects and where to put the controls for it.

For the controls I've been thinking something like a "Draw tools" section on the scene browser that you could expand here:

Hello,

Snapping worked normally for everything but direct face movement. All snaps were visible and could be interacted with.

All was normal to select a face and a base point. As soon as I moved to the target point stage the ability to snap to anything disappeared, either on the object itself or other points on different objects. In fact any visual indication of snaps disappeared from the screen. I could move the face just fine, but it wouldn't snap to anything unless I previously added a point object as a reference, in which case I could snap to a point.

Oooo. Cant wait

“”””””” should it only do it on selected objects”””””””

That feels like a road block in my thinking about it. But that is definitely an “intentional mode” to be in. May be harder to “discover” though, was my “roadblock”

So as not to interfere with an already insanely awesome flow and experience in drawing and how MoI works, i feel like it should be more of an intentional “mode”. Like in the drawing tools section some type of “i am planning on splitting faces for move-rotate-scale” tick or something.

Or possibly a modifier key when drawing, creates the face splitting mode….

Anyway, will just trust you’ve already got most of this thought through and watch for the addition.

Hi Burr, yes probably something like this (probably a v6 thing):

Drawing tools / Drawing options shows here when running a drawing command:
