Title: Cap Hole
Post by: rubberDuck on April 26, 2016, 06:17:13 pm: Hello.
I noticed that the "Cap Hole" tool was modified in NVil version 2016-Apr-26 and generates quads instead of triangles. Any chance that the old "Cap Hole" tool can be found somewhere?

Can you add the old method as a tickbox to "Cap Hole With/ No Options"?
I see that caps of holes with number of vertices non-divisible by 4 are still created with the old method, so the code is still there.

* Edit > Options > Keep Triangles In Hole Capping.

Exactly. Or a checkbox in "Cap Hole With/ No Options" window.
Edit->Options is already heavily cluttered.

Option is added into option dlg.
In streamline tool, tap Space key to toggle.
