The TLDR version; Feature request: A weld command for subD and meshes based on a float distance. [rhino_weld_distance] SubDs are a great addition! Very glad they’re coming to Rhino! If the following is already a feature, please correct me! I’d love to use it. Proposed feature: A subD and mesh co…

Hi Kurt. I’d say the command Alignmeshvertices does what you need. Or am I missing something. http://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/5/help/en-us/commands/alignmeshvertices.htm -Willem

AlignMeshVertices doesn’t work for subD objects. If you try to use it on a subD object anyway and use the select mesh edges mode, Rhino will hang upon selecting the first edge, as of build: (7.0.20042.9575, 2/11/2020). Sorry if the image above is misleading, those are subDs showing their edit cages,…

All mesh operations should work on SubD cages. I don’t understand why that’s not happening. What if for now you ExtractControlPolygon from the subD, run AlignMeshVertices, then Covert ToSubD again? Would that work?

Using ExtractControlPolygon, then AlignMeshVertices, then ToSubD almost works (see below), but if we’re looking at making the future Rhino 7 subD modeling experience pleasant, we’re getting even less intuitive. E.g: Click to select the SubD object. Click (or type) ExtractControlPolygon. Click to s…

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve filed https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-57183 for AlignMeshVertices to get SubD support. Stitch can also be used currently with SubD verts and if two are preselected it’s quick but not for a collection of verts greater than 2. There’s another open item f…

Hey everyone. The AlignVertices does work on SubD now, yes. But it could be made much easier to use and faster. Is it possible to make it so that if you have two SubD vertices selected, it will just automatically align them together, without having to change the DistanceToAdjust, click the SelectV…

Hi Jack, Stitch will do that and you can sub-object select the verts first too or follow the prompts with Stitch.

A ha! Stitch is what I’m looking for. Thank you! It should really be included in the SubD Tools menu tab (along with SetPt).
