Push pull command

[maarten1 (Maarten)]

Hello,

I am using rhino wip (9) and the push pull command. I see a change in handling. In rhino 8 I could directly select a surface to extrude. In rhino 9 it changed, now I select a surface, it changed into a yello surface, and then I have to hit ‘enter’ again. The two options seem to be switched. Why is that? can it be switchetd back? I think that will give less ‘enters’ and saves time in drawing.

Please let me know.

Kind regards, Maarten WIjnen

@Joshua_Kennedy would be the man to chime in here-

It’s like that because you can now select multiple surfaces with PushPull. When it’s yellow, you can click another surface and make that one yellow too

Awesome when you want multiple selections. Maybe a bit weird, as you’ve found, when only wanting to PushPull a single

[Joshua_Kennedy]

Yes, I understand there’s a bit of a hiccup there that wasn’t before. This change was added to support the multiface mode. There’s more info here:

Rhino WIP Feature: PushPull Multiface Support

Hi all, In the Rhino 9 WIP we’ve made PushPull work across multiple faces of a polysurface. [PushPull Multiface | New in Rhino WIP] What is PushPull Multiface? The PushPull command allows you to detect regions on a solid or polysurface and extrude them inward or outward. In Rhino WIP, PushPull can detect regions accross multiple faces as opposed to one single face, like in Rhino 8. Why is this useful? PushPull multiple faces at once solves intersections between faces automagicall…

If you want to use PushPull just on a single surface, you can make your own button with the following three commands:

_PushPull
_Pause
Enter

Or use the Gumball…

Hallo Gijs,

So it will be adjusted? I am not a developer, I do’nt know what a rmb is.

I do’nt know what a rmb is.

“Right Mouse Button”.
The PushPull Pause Enter macro will be added as a right-click command to the button.
The PushPull command itself will not change.

And also I use ‘extrude surface’, wich I aliased ‘PP’ - pause - enter.

In rhino wip it discards lines on surfaces, you can not select a devided plane on the surface to extrude. For me the two commands are in the same family, or is that not the case?

Are you reporting a change in the ExtrudeSrf command between Rhino 8 and Rhino WIP?
In a quick test, extruding a sub-surface of a polysurface works fine in the WIP.

I think you are referring to the automatic splitting of surfaces in PushPull? That only works in PushPull.

[maarten1 (Maarten)]

Yes, I think I was mistaken, it works ok.

RH-89080 is fixed in Rhino WIP

[martinsiegrist]

I don’t see a RMB option on the PushPull command in the latest WIP.

[Gijs (Gijs de Zwart)]

You’ll need to run Reset and choose Delete toolbar customizations for these changes to take effect.

[martinsiegrist]

I tried this but it didn’t help. Ok wait. The option appears in the main left side toolbar. The command in Solid Tools however does not have the right click option.
