I want to align the top face of a cube to another. I press ctrl + shift to select the polysurface face, but align command does not work with these.
It does not work with control points either…
These kind of things in Rhino are driving me mad lately.
I need to run SetPt to align control points, but Align for everything else, even regular points.
Same with extrude. Why ExtrudeCrv and ExtrudeSrf? Make the command smarter.
What about giving the rhino a brain and make things smoother for the user?
I constantly run ExtrudeSrf and ExtrudeCrv, interchangeably. The autocomplete always f***s me up one way or the other. Typing and retyping commands when modeling for hours is really a pain.
And whats worst, I sometimes make complex selections of polysurfaces faces, mistakenly run ExtrudeCrv instead of ExtrudeSrf. Boom, entire selection lost. No way to recover it.
We have that issue on the list a few times - for the time being, I can only suggest to create a shortcut or button with the following macro and use that when you have spent some time carefully selecting subobjects:
-NamedSelections Save S1 Enter
If you then need to get that selection set back, run
Hello - sure - Subobject selection gives a preview of how this can be - do you find you change the selection filter on the fly, as you go, or do you just answer the selection question every time? Either way, I say this counts as complicting the selection process for little or no gain.
Personally I use the selectionFilter quite often and I have it docked in the main rhino window. I change the filter mid-command as well. I don’t really get that argument though, it’s not like we have a separate MoveCurve, MoveSurface etc command?
What I do think is a valid argument is that the command line potentially has different options for different types of geometry.
