Hi

Next informations:

1. FILET: I try make some car door. There is a problem with filet when I select all line around like that 4 on the pic. I can't use filet. I know the reason polygons have other angle for example poly 1 to poly 2 or poly 3. Filet work but only when I select one edge by one (it's not good). On the secound pic you can see resoult I selct one edge make filet and next select secound edge and make filet in the same size filet. Offcourse result are different. When we select few edges filet can't work like that must have the same size for all of them.

2. Boolean: boolean should have split options not only A-B , A+B and Insect. Split is using for example when we want create car door line etc. Split working like cut line (in polygonal technik)

3. "planar" - is there any options like cap and but for using in ready model?? For example look on the pic filet there is some hole (I want use there split but I can't see that options:)) so how can I cap that hole?

4. I think there can be options like outline. When we select object and want extrude all line who are arround (or all line in the hole in object) it's wasting time to select line/edge by edge that option will be wery helpfull.

regards

This file doesn't seem to be available from your server, can you post it again?

#2 - Split - I think that Edit/Trim will do what you want here. For example, you can have a surface, trim it with a curve to cut it into pieces, and then when you come to the spot where you can select which piece to remove, just push "Done" to keep all the pieces behind.

Let me know if that isn't what you were talking about.


#3 - Planar - Planar will cap a hole in a surface or a solid but only if the hole is a planar closed loop. If there is a non-planar hole you want to fill, you'll need to create a surface there using lofting or sweeping along the edge curves to construct the fill-in piece.


#4 - Select edges - Eventually there will be more tools to select edges, such as a helper to select a chain of edges connected to the currently selected one. But it will probably be a while before these tools are available.
