Sometimes there are situations where Nvils Circulize command is not the best solution.

If I understand right it works only with 8sided quads? Why not to use Circulize  in this situation?

Why not to use Circulize  in this situation?

It depends if you want to create to a specific size. Circularize gives no feedback on size of circle/semi-circle created, you need to guess/tweak to get to a specific size.

Personally I use "Align > Cylinder", which allows for size input (or snap point select).

I am always working with 8 sided cylinders.  This will also work on half of a cylinder as long as the pivot point is at the center.  (you will have to correct the submitted tools)

It will also turn a circle into a square.  Reason is that it only changes 4 verts, leaving the center and the other verts where they are.


Thanx for the Align tip steve....its a tool I need to experiment more with.
