I was trying to redirect some topology with new edges , and found I couldn’t connect a vert from an ngon across a face to an opposite edge and then continue a loop I wanted to create , the only way I found round it was to create the loop starting at the edge , inserting a point , and then coming back after creating the loop to the original vert the inserting an edge and then stitch the two new verts to the ones I already had across the first face , with all that being said , is there a way to easily connect from an existing vert across a face without all the other issues I seem to have encountered , I’m sure it should be easier to construct a single edge between verts in subd . A bit like using the ‘Fill’ command in Blender .
Also in an unrelated issue but still in subd ,has anyone encountered a bug where their right mouse button starts acting as the tab button an constantly clicks between box and non box mode?
Can you please post a Rhino file with the relevant geometry?
I use insert point to create new edges, then delete the old edges as needed.
thanks Kyle , you always seem to be the one with the easy answer.
I don’t know what the default setting is but I would not want SubDDisplayToggle to repeat. Check what’s in Options/General/Never repeat these commands…
I can show you what I’ve built but it doesn’t show the issues that I had while making it , it is a knight chess piece that I was building in subd to practice my skills that need more practice .
cool will do thanks
I’ve tried what you suggested but I can’t add to the list , but also what I’ve found is my right mouse button goes back to the operation I’ve just done , without giving me the option of whether I’m trying to repeat it or not and this is very frustrating when I’m trying to move around the model , it never seemed to do this , I can’t find a way of disabling it .
SubDDisplayToggle currently registers as a repeateable command, but should not; I logged the bug here: https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-86156/SubDDisplayToggle-Never-repeat-this-command.
Adding SubDDisplayToggle to the list of Never repeat these commands should fix the issue immediately.
However, I could not reproduce it registering in the Undo list. If I make a SubDBox, then run SubDDisplayToggle, then Undo, the SubDBox command is undone, as it should. Do you have a procedure to reproduce that?
Do you get any kind of error when you try that? I’m able to scroll down and add _SubDDisplayToggle to the bottom of that list without any issues, in Rhino 8.17.
I think this has always been the case since very early versions of Rhino. RMB click is for repeating the last command (the repeat happens when the RMB goes up again). RMB click-and-drag is for changing the view. A more recent addition was the RMB click-and-hold that opens a contextual menu, the options for that are in Tools -> Options... -> Rhino Options -> Mouse -> Right mouse button.
I worked out how to add that to the list , but I think the problem I was having was I was using a laptop that isn’t powerful enough to run modelling so it was having a bit of a melt down , I’m running on a more powerful machine and apart from the gumball doing odd things I’m not having that problem anymore . Thanks for the input .
RH-86156 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 17
