Rhino 8 for Mac. SubD Crease tool

[allanbeagle]

Hi, I was looking for any info on the SubD crease function and I found this post. I wonder if you can help. In Rhino 7 for Mac the crease and smooth functions are next to each other, makes sense. But in Rhino 8 they are not together, is there a reason?
My real question is this: in Rhino7 for Mac I can click on a point on the corner of a face then click crease and I get a sharp corner, I found this very useful. In Rhino 8 this no longer possible, Is this function now found elsewhere, I can’t find it. Any help much appreciated.
Allan.

Hi
have a look here if you want.

Rhino WIP feature: SubD weighted creases (sharp edges)

Rhino WIP has SubD weighted creases. Using weighted edges (also called sharp edges) allows you to create a feature somewhere between a smooth edge and a crease edge without adding complexity to the SubD control net. Weighted edges have continuous surface tangent and curvature and they are a good tool for making fillet like features. NOTE WELL: SubD edge weights are saved only in Rhino WIP version 8 3dm files. If you SaveAs a version 7 file, all edge weight settings are lost. Do not use weig…

Hi @allanbeagle ,

In an upcoming Rhino 8 service release the SubDCrease icon will get a right click macro to run the Crease command which allows fast access to Crease which will sharpen verts or provide a perfectly sharp edge. The left click on this icon will still run the new SubDCrease command.

In the meantime, you can use the Crease command directly.

Thanks Akash, I didn’t know about this. Looks very interesting.

Hi Inju, Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

[allanbeagle]

Thanks Brian, but will it work on a point also or only an edge?

[allanbeagle]

Hi again Brian, I read your post again and you do say that it will work on verts. So it should be good. Thanks.

I am SO glad I found this post. I thought I was going nutty (again?) when I coudln’t find the ‘Crease’ command. Another close call.
