Hello, Im an ex tsplines user from rhino 5 and now working with SubD, It would be great if there was a similar tool to flatten points or a way to align the control points of my surface to a specific plane or to have them snap with a topology tool to a surface. Also the Radiate tool is still a bit fi…

[image] j.beltran: align the control points of my surface to a specific plane you can use project in your title you write about Retopo, is that solved for you? just in case there is quadremesh for retopologizing mesh.

I guess the retopo tool wish is more about retopo snap. It allowed modeling a T-Spline on top of another mesh in real time.

Do you mean project snap or project command? The interesting thing about the flatten points tool in tsplines is that it would calculate the mean direction/distribution of a set of selected points and would place them on a single plane which came was really handy when you where free modeling and at …

[image] j.beltran: project command i meant this yes, it will project your selected (control)points onto a plane or even onto a surface

oh, and you can also use the smooth command to flatten your controlpoints maybe also helpful.

Maybe the SnapToMeshObject command could be extended with a SnapToSubDObject option. @nathanletwory ?

Hi @j.beltran What sort of objects you’re building new geometry by? Nurbs surfaces only?

I work in furniture design so 70 percent of the time I’m using Sub D to build everything for the initial concept. Then I would pass to nurbs modeling to finalize design. @Jussi_Aaltonen

you can use gumball to flatten or align points- see this video [Rhino 7 SubD, quick and easy edge alignment using gumball] one additional thing, you can always make a custom cplane, then set gumball to cplane and then use scale to zero to flatten subd points to a specific plane. also …
