Feature Requests / Cut tool auto connect cycling.

« Last post by xenoox on May 22, 2025, 09:24:17 am »

Hi. I would like to request feature that allows user to specify to which Vertex cut tool should automatically connect when adding cut point inside of a polygon. Currently it does auto connect to vertices but it feels random most of a time. I have to go back and delete, add edges after finishing the cut to clean it up. Please, add hotkey to cycle through available vertices or setting for auto connect behaviour. Thanks in advance.

Feature Requests / NMB deadzone/tolarance

« Last post by xenoox on May 22, 2025, 09:11:05 am »

Hi. Could you add NMB drag deadzone setting? It's extremely hard to use it within streamline tools when using pen instead of a mouse, because when I have actions assigned for both mouse buttons and NMB, NMB registers even on a slightest movement even though I wanted to use mouse button action instead. This is hard to prevent due to how pen tablet works.

Bug Reports / Retopo bug

« Last post by xenoox on May 22, 2025, 08:55:21 am »

Hi. I found a bug in retopo mode. Whenever I'm trying to to extrude vertex it sometimes switches to polygon creation instead and while it registers, produces edges with zero lenght. It also occures with tweak tool.

Question here I searched for an array tool to circular array an item around a cylinder...I searched the help file and the forum and nothing.....

Try:-

Geometry -> Create -> Instance ->Create Instance (Circle)
Or
Geometry -> Create -> Instance ->Create Instance (Advanced)

You could also create a circle spline and use:-
Geometry -> Create -> Instance ->Create Instance (Spline or Advanced)
Or
Geometry -> Spline Commands n Tools -> Snap (to see that command, you will need to have a spline selected and in vertex selection mode)

What can you find if you use "circle" as key word in "Tool Search Window"?

Thanks Steve and Istonia.

I would have not figured those thing out by myself.
Everyday I try to model a few small things to get better.

Question here I searched for an array tool to circular array an item around a cylinder...I searched the help file and the forum and nothing.....Is the array tool in Nvil called the pose tool?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFIJVWbRscQ

Another quick question.
When "Show Spline tangent flow" is enabled, the normal's/flow are very small. The size of them now appears to be bound to the size of the spline vertex size, so zooming in does not help (just makes them smaller).

Is there a way to increase the size of the spline tangent flow without having to increase the size of the spine vertex?
