Currently, when merging faces the command leaves the resulting merged face selected. If you want to use the command repetitively to merge other faces, you need to either select faces or edges but the selected face is not taken into account. So you need to first deselect it. Could you plea…

Hi, Ivelin, Thank you for pointing out this workflow problem. I’ll look into in the next few weeks. I’ve added this issue to our bug tracking system: https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-57952 – Dale Lear

Hi @dalelear and @ivelin.peychev I hate to be contrarian, but more often than not, I like the resulting face to be selected. I would usually want to modify the resulting surface - move, extrude, scale or similar - right awqay. I guess it’s one of those things, where different work methods requires …

Thanks for weighing in Jakob. Your reasons are why I left the result selected. I’m mulling over the idea of a persistent one click toggle option (SelectMergedFaces=yes/no). This would allow the user to configure the behavior and change it as needed. The downside is that it makes default behavior dep…

Hi @dalelear I’m a big fan of persistent toggles in commands. As for scripting, the scripters wil just have to set the switch in their scripts - I don’t imagine that’s a big deal. I can see that adding persistent toggles on older commands can mess things up, but all the sub-d commands are still new…

Semi-related workflow issue: If you subobject select some SubD faces and delete them, Rhino automatically selects the edges of the hole after you delete. This means that if you are trying to make more than one hole in a subD, you have to de-select every time you’re done making a hole, or the next t…

Thanks Max. That’s a good point and I’ve added an issue to the bug tracking system to look at this in the next few weeks. https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-57976

Both of the changes discussed above will be available in the April 21, 2020 Rhino WIP. For MergeFaces I added a persistent Results=Selected/NotSelected option. I don’t like the option name, but I’m guessing an option name like SelectResults might be confusing? ( https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/yout…
