Cullcontrolpolygon not working

Hello there,

I typed cullcontrolpolygon to make it off but sub d object’s vertex can be selected.

when it is off: Ok
**

when it is on: Won’t work. It selects back vertexes too.

It works only if I hit F10 and open control points.

In 3ds max, there is “Backface” for culling and it works.

Last thing,
Could you copy cullcontrolpolygon icon to Subd Edit toolbar please? I know I can add myself but if you could, it would help many people.

Has anyone ever experienced that before or the problem exist in your side too :thinking:

It seems like this is the intended behavior of CullControlPolygon. From the help:

The CullControlPolygon command hides surface points, mesh points and SubD points (turned on by the PointsOn command)

Some commands can help select visible vertices only: Lasso SelectThroughObjects=No, or SelBrush SelectThroughObjects=No for example; all with a selection filter active for vertices, “Select sub-objects” active, and in a shaded mode.

See this work ticket too: RH-62607 Selection Filters could use a ‘select through’ checkbox

I will try lasso selection thank you a lot. Fence selection can be added too, it is a New and nice tool for trim command in v9 :slight_smile: that can be adopted maybe :slight_smile:

Do you mean the SelFence command? (Rhino BETA Feature: Fence Selection and Selection commands | Rhino 3-D modeling). The Beta version has a new SelectThroughObjects option.

Or you can use SelBrush (Selection commands | Rhino 3-D modeling) which does the same thing, and is already available in v8, except that it uses a “thick” brush path instead of a thin polyline for intersection.
