Rhino BETA Feature: Gumball Control Polygon Alignment

[maje90 (Riccardo Majewski)]

@Vanessa

Dart and star points don’t have UV directions, so we only show the N (Normal direction) arrow. for SubDs, UVN arrows will only appear on quad topology.

@Joshua_Kennedy you confirm this?

WIP Bug: Gumball smooth setting

There’s no problem if we wanted to align and move the gumball along the different control net directions when a single extraordinary vertex is selected. If you have a selection of multiple vertices containing an extraordinary vertex we can’t figure out consistent directions for the entire selection. So if you’re fine with this only ever working on a single vertex selection we can get it done.

Please let us have full gumball also for extraordinary vertices. Having only normal direction is too limiting.
Dragging the control point on a direction equal to one of the connected control net edges… it’s needed for normal vertexes but also for extraordinary vertices.

Does that help?

(PS: in the process, I did find a bug, so thanks for asking ).

Rhino 8 control point and control net selection

Thank you! I can confirm, current service release candidate have control net selection much more reliable on what we can see. Let’s strike while the iron is hot. … then, there is the opposite problem: the positive selection of what is not visible or occluded. Mikko on youtrack says “there’s no occlusion culling”. Ok. I’m not sure it is better to have selection prevented, culled, for not visible control net elements. For sure I’d like to try it. Most of the times I select an occluded obje…

control points loop selection happens to be unrelated to the very first first selected grips.
