Edge alignment

Rhino SubD

Hello

Is the only way to do this that @theoutside shows in the Youtube video by assigning GumballRelocate to a hotkey?

I intentionally tested Edge in pieces like this.

If I want to align by points, I can use the Setpt command, but is there any way to select a line and align it?

You can use SetPt also on edges, or on any other geometry for that matter.

Hi @Gijs

Setpt now works in Edge.

fwiw: I have these macros set to sx, sy, sz aliases (notice the ‘yes’ needs to come first):

'_-SetPt x=yes y=no z=no
'_-SetPt y=yes z=no x=no
'_-SetPt z=yes x=no y=no

That’s when you assign an alias, right?

8

Correct, because there always needs to be at least one set to yes.

Thank you so much :slight_smile:

Hi @jack3
If I understand you right, just select your control points and use Align with the ToLine option - that’ll let you define your own “axis” of alignment.

I was going to mention the same as Jakob with the Align command. It works on sub objects in a SubD and can align them to an automatically averaged plane (fit plane) or a plane whose depth is set by the normal of the active Cplane.

There seem to be several ways to do this.
Thank you :slight_smile:
