V8 wip bug: Rhino dropping my selections when I undo a move or transform

Hi McNeel team,

We know that extensive selection tools, or any advanced modeling tools for that matter, is something that Rhino does not have yet because “it’s not as mature as the other SubD tools”

This lack of advanced tools forces us to do a lot of manual work with a lot of manual selections. So selecting Subobjects in Rhino is a ton of work. So I hope we can agree on that. Given all these limitations, the most important thing you should do to eliminate more friction in our work is maintaining our selections . Currently, when I undo a transform operation you drop my selection! …which is absolutely nuts.

See here:

This has been happening since the V6 wips of SubD, and I really hope you realize how bad this is. You should fix it ASAP if you can in your current architecture. This fix will add a lot of productivity to your already limited toolset.

I’m not demanding you do it, I’m just suggesting it. But if these posts get 50 likes you are on the hook to include this essential fix in V8.

Thanks,

Gustavo

Yes, it is really annoying!

I don’t think company policy will let him… They’re pretty strict on that! :joy:

I think this is the real issue (or at least the version that was logged first)

PS: Can you all guess what the other 2 are? or do I always have to be the one pointing out these things?

For V8 yes. We’ll let you cash out and well start a new battle in V9. Deal?

I have to document it with a couple of examples to make my case. I’ll be back. Have a great weekend!
