I’m glad you asked:

Soft-edit / proportional editing tutorial?

Specifically, I’m looking for tutorials on how to modify non-symmetrical, non-geometric shapes (because I found some of those, and they’re edge cases that’s useless to me, as I do free-form surface modeling). Does anyone know of any? Is it possible to use any soft/proportional editing in Rhino with a view based drag modification? UVN directional modification? Only affect a certain control point selection? Can you soft-edit something that’s matched with history (like tweak G2 rows of control po…

How to smooth out a complex surface?

I’m cleaning up a file and I just came across something that I don’t know how to do in Rhino: [bild] Now, in Alias I know at least two different methods on how to deal with this without re-doing the surface, but either that’s not available in Rhino or too crudely implemented in Rhino. So, anyone have any tips? smooth-blending.3dm (120.3 KB) (PS. Yes, I realize the blend trim is horribly ugly/potentially wrong and I should re-do and re-trim the entire surface, but I’m interested in this spec…

SoftEditSrf DirConstraint=SrfNormal only takes initial point into account?

Look at this result: [image] Doesn’t it appear as if it only took the surface normal of the initial control point into account, and just moved all other control points according to that normal, instead of the normal at each control point? Is what I’m seeing a bug or what is the explanation for this?

SoftEditSrf - don't try it on dense (high point count) surfaces

While we’re on the topic of high point count soft surface editing, a falloff tweak that could be done after the initial transform was completed would be ideal as well… [image] [image] Right now, I’m having a real difficulty getting anything in between here… Also, a preview in the form of the actual control points moving rather than the surface would also be very helpful to me in this situation. (Ideally, as I’ve mentioned in other threads, It would be great to specify number of control po…

Add Soft Selection to Rhino 7?

HI all Adding this command would be very effective, of course, such as softmove and cage edite, but this is a soft selection command with manually adjustable mesh and subd object settings. Very effective this recipe !!!

Please add "DistanceType" to "Soft Edit Surface"

Soft edit surface currently has a U distance and a V distance parameter, which both apparently are in the document’s units. This is bad if you are attempt to soft edit a surface that has a G1/G2/G3 continuity applied to it, because you might accidentally move and ruin that. A better solution would be to rather than choosing a distance in units, instead choose a distance in number of control points. Like, a U distance of 2, would be 2 control points on the hull, regardless of how far apart the…

Soft-edit surface snaps to control point?

One (of numerous) gripes I have with the SoftEditSrf command is that you can’t specify the exact number of control points in either direction, rather the distance you enter is in the world units… So, imagine my surprise when I finally thought I’d try to wrestle some snese out of this very obtuse command, and saw this: [snap] Why on earth does the base point snap to a control point??? Since the distance is in world units, it makes absolutely zero sense to me to force the base point to snap to…
