Does SubD have a way of setting up symmetry planes? This would make sense on a model like this car body.

While Zbrush’s radial symmetry is very nice that feature is not comparable. The extremely dense mesh is getting realtime-displaced by brushes – it works with meshes of arbitrary topology as input and only moves the individual vertices in space. Some shading tricks let everything look nice and smooth…

Considering editing an entire object built using symmetry tools it occurred to me to ask: Should there be a kind of master/slave relationship between the one segment that is editable with the rest following automatically? This would require some type of unique visual depiction of the master section…

Good point. Of course at a minimum Rhino should recognize that situation and issue a warning. Maybe the answer is to not allow the user to select more than one segment or perhaps when more than one segment is box selected just highlight one of it’s own choosing. Or maybe use the usual multiple sele…

Thanks for the info Brian - I guess I’ll have to ‘roll my own’ in GH to get what I need. Cheers DK

symmetry and radial symmetry is a pretty crucial need for a sub d modeler at any level.

yup Kyle, I’ve been trying to SubD model in V7 without symmetry. SubD modeling in V7 is still very rough. It’s like a cold shower: It does the job, but man, it sucks compared to a hot one. …But modeling without symmetry is like showering without soap: It doesn’t really work. I already told Brian he…

Unlike Nurbs, SubD surfaces change their form when uncreased edges are welded together, so to visualize one’s end result, it would be great to be able to automatically model in radial symmetry in real time. When modelling in Clayoo with symmetry on, as clunky and awkward as the UX is, the symmetry …

Partial symmetry would be awesome
