Cage editing SubD objects

Hi,
I posted this question earlier, but since I did not get an answer, here it is again:

SubD object cannot be deformed with UDT tools like CageEdit, bend etc. Is this a temporary bug?
I remember I could use UDT on SubD objects earlier.
I hope this will become possible again

Yes, I use it often now. Works great!

I always felt I was somehow working on a higher plane on thought when doing control point manipulation on a cage controlling a selection of control points on a Tspline model.

The few workmates who have seen me do it (mostly solidworks guys) have been close to brain melt down trying to understand what they are seeing.

Pretty sure I first saw it in one of your videos @theoutside dont do it often but super handy workflow when called on.

Great to hear we can do that in SubD.

sorry to dig this up oldie, but for anyone else who has had issues with cage editing subds (like I just did for a bit this morning… :slight_smile: , remember to select “preserve structure=yes” in your cage creation setup, or the cage will NOT control the subd.

Not critical but maybe someday Mcneel flags this and makes it an automatic option check when a subd is selected.

edit: OK this is still not working properly for me. v8.5. New bug post coming now.
