First of all congratulations on the SubD tools, fantastic, Rhino 7 will be a really HUGE leap forward! I have the latest WIP and have been experimenting with it in the past two days the SubD toolset Some thoughts and suggestions on what might be improved in my opinon: A“Select SubD control poin…

_offsetSubD = thicken I thought _subDDisplayToggle defaulted to the Home key. Agree very much about item 7 on your list. I stopped using Append because it slowed down my machine when I used it on large SubD surfaces. The Single SubD face command should toggle it’s view mode along with everything …

[image] rhinofan: A“Select SubD control points” button is necessary, so that, for example you can select SubD control points in a shaded viewport with a normal selection window without displacing the entire objet A “Select SubD Edge” button is necessary to avoid the need to subselect with CTR+S…

I don’t see tab in my keyboard shortcut options in the WIP. Will it be added? Or is the plan to keep it reserved for SubD mode toggle? Also are there any plans to add single key shortcuts to options in v7?

[image] Max3: I don’t see tab in my keyboard shortcut options in the WIP. Will it be added? Or is the plan to keep it reserved for SubD mode toggle? I don’t think it was ever configurable in the Keyboard settings unless I’m mistaken. We used it after user requests that this would be similar …

Single key commands have been mentioned as part of discussions about SubD because multiple competitors use them for subD. Specifically it’s been brought up around toggling sub object selection: Clayoo uses single hotkeys to toggle between object, face, edge and vertex selection. If I recall correctl…

[image] BrianJ: _SUbDDisplayToggle I agree with 7. above. Append is pretty tricky. I usually like to use a black or very dark background and when using _appendface, since it always switches the subD to black wireframe I can’t see anything. I’m sure there is a way to change the color of this w…

[image] sculptn: appendface… always switches the subD to black wireframe I can’t see anything I added your comments to an open report related to this… RH-55749. I have personally found an orange tinted ghosted display mode useful when reverse engineering. Attached is my display mode ‘RevEng’ …

Hi Brian, I was curious to also try your display mode, but it won’t load on my Mac…? do you know why, [ after all the Mac also uses .ini] thanks a lot Akash

I have the same problem with the black wireframe preview in _Append. I use a black background, so the wireframe is completely invisible. Simple fix: the preview wireframe shouldn’t be black. It should be the “feedback” color set in the appearance options. Default for that color is black. Because I…

Sorry about that, looks like this is an issue with ini created on Windows and then imported to Mac. I added your comment to the open issue. https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-49144 Here’s a Mac version of the same mode too. RevEng-Mac.ini (7.0 KB)
