Connect Edge?

<< < (2/2)

hihosilver:
I'll explain the pinch and slide a bit:
The slide parameter will slide the entire edge (or edges) over a certain percentage.  So if the slide were 100 or -100 the edge loop created would be created in the same spot as one of the outer edge loops.  If it were 0 it would be in the middle of the two edge loops and a value like 50 or -50 would be inbetween the two (if you need a visual example I can show you) but basically it slides the new edge loop from side to side instead of just allowing it to be created in the middle.

The pinch parameter only affects the edges if you're creating more than one edge.  So for example if you are creating 2 or more edge loops spaced out nice and evenly at once, the pinch value will pinch those edges together, so they're not spaced out as evenly (they will still be spaced evenly with each other, but will be pinched into the center of the group of edges created.) If you need a visual for this I can give it too.
Hope that helps.

NickE:
Thank you for the further clarification of Slide and Pinch.  I think I know enough now to get started.

The only thing that concerns me is the lack of undo if the parameters selected are not what is desired.  Will have to think about that for a bit.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

hihosilver:
Hm, that's a good question.
There is the delete edge loop script already, the only issue is if the strand of edges doesn't form a closed edge loop it wont delete.  Perhaps a delete edges script that removes the edges, but fills in the faces in-between could be good.   In other words, it would remove the edges but the figure would not actually be opened.

Rhynder:
Any news on this front?

Not to sound hasty or anything, just there hasn't been an update in a while. I just wanted to know if this has been scrapped or not. Or maybe if anim8or .asl functions aren't capable of this yet.
