(Wish) Reflect - add Tolerance

[Tom_P]

_reflect
currently i teach to use setPt to make sure the Vertices fit to the later symmetry Plane.

it would be nice to have a tolerance option to handle this.
SubD is a lot about fast and visually dragging points…

My Wish:

Tolerance = auto (default value)
should take care on average edge length.
if a vertex is less then 1/10 of from the average edge length, it should be projected to the reflection plane before applying the symmetry.

Tolerance = 0.1 … numeric…
same behaviour as above, but not linked to average edge length but absolute

this is a simple fake to show the problem i am talking about:
applied _reflect, the middle vertex is 1 mm of…
in box mode this error gets “suck” by the red, shinning symmetry-indicator.
(wish should have a fixed pixel width… not getting bigger when zooming in)

thanks - kind regards - tom

Thank you for your report, I have logged this requirement to our development engineers.

In joining the party a bit late but I agree with Tom, this would help.

I’m used to do the same multiple times while using the SubD.

this party is not over until there is a

(Bug) _reflect and several commands

thanks pascal - I try to post an example with failing inset later. with bridge there is a one special case - adding additional faces with a bridge should be handled… (meaning it is not a bridge from existing faces to existing faces, but from the subD with reflect to for example a SubDPlane that closes a hole - i will post an example for this later)

Bridge failing

Dear @David_Parle if you want more feedback on your questions it s impossible to help from a screenshot - so please upload a rhino / .3dm file. you can drag and drop them in the text edit/writing frame while you type… … also check your models in boxmode. toggle boxmode/smoothmode with the → (tab) key. i recommend to have the starpoint / extraordinary not at the edge: minimal number of faces [image] alterntative [image] a good rule of thumb is to have min 8 arround faces if you want to…
