Title: Loop Cut/Slide Edges at selection
Post by: Tiles on September 24, 2012, 08:01:57 am
I haven`t found a way to do a Loop cut at just a selection like the currently selected faces. The tool goes through the whole edgering/faceloop.

May i request to add a Loopcut functionality in Facemode that works just at the selected faces?

There is the [sub-object polygons] cut tool, that will cut just the selected polygons. Select the polygons and press "C"

You can select a part/section of an edge ring, press "C" which will cut that selection.
You can select a part/section of an edge ring and use the "Loop insert-> Selection only"
You could also use the "Loop insert-> Manually select".

Ah, that does the trick. I have to be in edge mode. Thanks :)

In my opinion it would be easier when i could add my edgeloop also in face mode. One face is faster selected than the surrounding edges.

Try the 'Geometry > Command Commands n Tools > Context Cut'. It works on vertex/edge/polygon modes. It is currently bound to 'C' tool's 'On Activated' event like steve said.

Thanks. But this one does divide the face. I cannot define where i want to cut.

You can select the polygons, switch to edge mode, activate the cut/slide tool, move your cursor over a selected edge, perform cut action.
