Hi all, In the Rhino BETA we’ve focused on fine-tuning the Gumball to improve usability in everyday modeling scenarios. Orientation and Location SubD Modeling is an iterative process or adjusting faces, edges and vertices over and over until finding the right shape. In Rhino 8 and previous versio…

Being forced to reach the keyboard every time is cumbersome. There are a couple of super convenient solutions, especially for those who use a 3d mouse. We only need the approval of the “McNeel” team. :slight_smile: Method 1: Use simple “Away gesture” (a.k.a. L-shaped gesture) control to switch b…

After reading your reply of my quoted words, I have the impression that you didn’t understood the simplicity of the proposed methods to temporarily execute “Smart snappy dragging” only when it’s needed (via a simple gesture or holding the mouse pointer in the same spot for a brief moment) while the …

[image] Rhino_Bulgaria: Use simple “Away gesture” (a.k.a. L-shaped gesture) What do you mean by L -shaped-gesture? What most people probably think you’re saying is ‘draw an L shape with your mouse’. But you seem to be saying something else. So what is it?

I haven’t had time to test, but are all of these unnecessary resets fixed yet? [image] Gumball reposition only remembers single move with selection Rhino for Windows Things which unnecessarily resets the gumball position: Opening the Drag Strength dialog box…

[image] Rhino_Bulgaria: About the new rotate-extend mode. I was just about to write a request to improve the ! _FoldFace, because currently it’s incapable of keeping the adjacent faces in the original plane after the selected face is being rotated. Here is an example to show the difference. …

@eobet , the link you provided is about keeping the structure of the polysurfaces for “PushPull”, whereas I mentioned the “FoldFace” editing that tends to rotate the adjacent faces. I hope that the new behavior of the Gumball in Rhino 9 WIP showed in this topic will also apply for both, “PushPull” an…

@ftzuk , I explained it in detail in my post above where you read about the L-shaped gesture, as well as in the linked topic. The latter also consists a picture showing how the gesture operates, as well. It’s super easy to understand. The gesture itself is the most convenient and quick way to activat…

We’ve discussed internally already that M isn’t on the right side of the keyboard. I’m still not entirely convinced about some gestures or tapping versus holding modifier keys to get something different to happen. Besides being finnicky they’re terribly difficult to teach new users. Even tapping ALT…
