Full Version: V5 moving holes great - how about resizing?

hi all...

https://app.screencast.com/HqJx8To1mhenU/e?theme=dawn

On the release notes post: [V5 beta Sep-17-2025 available now]
Michael's videos shows very easy to move face geometry or holes around a solid - i really like this but...

I then tried to select the same face - as the dialogue. top right also gives its diameter and height...
So is there a way to resize the hole in a single click with V5.

Not interested in deleting and recreating hole. Am interested in changing hole sizes
after already made part of a 'solid'.

Also tried transform "scale", that doesn't work either. Any changes effect the entire solid.

Hi stefano,

I'm planning on putting it in the "Edit size" menu that pops up when you click on that Diameter/height line but it isn't hooked up quite yet.

It needs a bit of an overhaul so it can work with multiple selection.

hi michael, look forward to that day and be super-nice if moving holes is linked to instances / clones...

Another approach for now...

not quite got my head around isect yet but
was creating chisel tools by accident with a square and a circle (or 'hole')
- id have problems manufacturing your shape

wheres the Pilou tutorial on super-rapid ai renders - that would be good ;o)

@ Stephano No need tutorial! :)

Make a snapshot of your MOi object witout or not gride, whitout edges or not, save it!

Dag & Drop inside Gemini (for me (20 images free / Day) or others

Write a prompt or not (better if one)

Press the button!

Et voilĂ ! :)

Yep Nano Banana (20 images/ Day), Leonardo (150 images /day), Krea (50 images / day) etc... or other free IA replace all old and not so easy render engines! ;)

And if you overpass the day limite you can always make a snapshot! ;)

Some sufficient for a no pro usage!

Ps and you have so crazy real time render functions!
Of course all that is infinite exploration! :)
