Hi All I wanted to share some ideas about how I imagine MoveUVN This is my vision as a user, considering I use all these features scattered in different areas. [image]

Well, in my opinion, these tools are much needed for general product design. They are not limited to the automotive industry only. Anything that requires precise modeling, achieving at least G1 continuity, control point modeling, etc, requires better surfacing tools than the flawed ones found in the…

[image] Joaquin Laborda: Let’s face it: the tools we’re talking about are mostly needed in the automotive industry, which has its own go-to software for high-level surface modeling. Why should only the automotive industry have speed, efficiency and other QoL improvements???

An improved moveUVN would benefit modeling in Rhino in multiple ways and in multiple applications. Furthermore I guess of all the fancy features of Alias and similar programs, this is among the easier ones to implement as most of it is already possible but not very accessible/controlable.

[image] Joaquin Laborda: I think everybody must agree that Alias has a much better control points editing interface. $5,335 per year. :sweat_smile:

[image] Joaquin Laborda: Take the new command like Elmo, for example—it’s looking promising. What’s Elmo :thinking: :slightly_smiling_face: [image] Elmo: A new command to rebuild curves in Rhino Serengeti (Rhino WIP) We are excited to share Elmo, a new command to r…

It would take just a couple of days for the programmers and UI designers to implement much better control point modeling tools in Rhino. Plus Super Gumball (search the topics to learn more about it). I can participate for free as a consultant for doing that ASAP in Rhino 7. I skipped Rhino 8, becau…

It’s possible to achieve a level of intuitiveness that is comparable to AutoDesk Alias with the help of Rhino Aliases/Macros. A hint: RhinoCommands have the ability to consolidate. Remember?

I wrote a lot of requests about control point modeling since the last 8 years. Other people requested that feature even earlier. Zero progress was made in this regard… I lost hope that the not yet released Rhino 9 will have better control point modeling and Super Gumball with customizable secondary …
