Bug Reports / UI bug
« Last post by silent_haven on March 07, 2026, 07:19:10 am »Hi, IStonia. I have a clipping bug showed in the video below. I have text font scale 0.50, it satisfies me. But relaunching programm causes text clipping. Switching this value (0.50) back and forth helps, but after relaunch it happens again

Before I waste more time...maybe I am understanding this all wrong.
1. The normal way to model is to import 2d images of the front, side and top views of what you want to model. They can be scaled up close to accuracy required for the final model. You then use primitives to create the final shape in combination with sub'd. See Istonias car rim modelling tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgDXUxwrl1Y&t=1210s. For some parts of the model he uses drawmesh but it only comes with modelling experience and practice which tools to use and when.
2. No, on the new spline tools palette is spline surface and spline patch. You can also extrude polygons from a spline or fill a closed spline with an NGon. You can create cylindrical polygon shape with lathe and loft polygons between splines. Most of the help info you need about these tools is in Tool search. These are very similar tools as to what you find in Moi or Plasticity except they generate polygons instead of nurbs surfaces.
3. No.

It is impossible just importing a bunch of lines then one click to build everything. Imported lines are mainly used reference to create new splines or mesh geometries.
-- When importing lines from dxf file, if the "Put all lines in one spline" is checked, multiple splines are packed into one spline object. This option is provided in case there are too many lines from the file to prevent the possible messy problem in the scene organisation. To break the packed spline, use the "Split" command. You can also remove the unwanted splines in vertex mode while they are still in one spline object.
-- You set the grid interval value here, Edit > Preference > Grid.
