Hi all. Working with SubD, etc etc… [2023-06-01 13_24_58-ScreenToGif - Editor] When selecting a control point (or “grip”), the option “Align to Object” is limited to having Z (blue) gumball axis/arrow aligned to local normal and Y (green) arrow aligned to local V direction (if it is a surface). …

Hi. It is a great idea! Maybe it would make sense to have this ‘Gumball 2’ integrated in the Move UVN tool, so the user has the option to either manipulate directly on the model with those arrows you propose or from the window with the typical sliders (which is more time-consuming to use from my p…

I’m all in for these ideas to become reality. I myself suggested similar ideas in other topics and hopefully the “McNeel” team will take the need for better control point editing seriously.

The 1st link does not open. Also, I can’t find RH-86619 in the list of improvements and fixes from the 2nd link you provided. Rhino 9 WIP now has a specialized Gumball for control points? :slight_smile:

Hi Bobi - [image] Bobi: The 1st link does not open I’ve made that public now. -wim

The widgets are still a work in progress I’m getting feedback on. You can enable them with the TestMoveUVNWidgets test command.

LET’S GOOOOOOOOO!!! :star_struck:

Thanks! I don’t have a commercial Rhino 8, so I can’t test the latest Rhino 9 WIP and the new features. :slight_smile: Hopefully these handles will be a great surprise when I buy Rhino 9.
