Here I am, again trying to do some super simple edits to a Modo SubD model in Rhino, and man, this is incredibly frustrating. How do I merge two two vertices into one. I want the vert 2 to dissolve into the position of vert 1. For the life of me I cannot do this in Rhino. [capture_gf_104138PM_200…

[image] Max3: grievance that the spacing between checkboxes needs to be fixe I added your comment to the open report on this https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-43086 It has to do with the sub-object groups for these check boxes.

You know you can use any combo of keys as as alias? For instance e was taken, so I used ee for edges filter. ff for faces etc.

[image] theoutside: You know you can use any combo of keys as as alias? Hi @theoutside If that was directed at me: Thanks, I know - it’s just that I have some 260+ aliases, so all the good ones are already taken. I work with one hand on the kb (right), the other on the mouse (left), and try …

I think we are talking about different things Kyle, [image] theoutside: You already know this… I know even a bit more than that. I know that if a specific vertex is at a known, precise XYZ location (within file tolerance) I want to give Rhino an unequivocal input to say : stitch (merge) thes…

I’ve got to sympathize, at least, with G’s main point here: that precision and SubD both can and should exist in concert – for the sake of moving the needle, and in an attempt to make Rhino preeminent. Achievement of such is where the value prop lies, IMO, at least for manufactured (tooled) product…

the only way to make subd “precise” is to allow for snapping of verts… we can already do that. the only way to get “tighter tolerances” is to have more faces on a subd which increases complexity, file size and injects the opportunity for inflection into the model. these are 2 opposing truths… To …

[image] theoutside: my solution? Backwards… :wink: Hmm, now you make me think!.. :thinking: [image] theoutside: To get a “precise” Subd, you need more faces and as such add a ton of complexity that you will have to deal with downstream. Particularity bad if you have to data transfer. …

[image] ec2638: Hmm, now you make me think!. that’s my job :slight_smile:

Can you guys please split this thread? I started this to talk about UX friction, and report bugs in the subD tools. You are now all getting philosophical about the meaning of accuracy and precision in different topology types. And in a very miss-informed way that I rather don’t get into right now. …

Cube? Have you seen the subd challenges I’ve been putting up? Hardly cubes. I BEAT on these tools every day 8 hours a day. If you have specific needs, let’s go thru them step by step so we can address them.
