Creating and Editing Editable Polys by Isaac Oster

Convert 3D primitivies to “editable poly” objects

Component hierarchy: vertex, border, polygons, objects have their own menues

“Remove” vertex points

“Break” vertex points to as many points than faces

“Weld” several selected vertex points to one point

“Extrude” and “Chamfer” vertex point

“Weld” one point directly to another point

“Connect” two selected points with an edge

Further functions in vertex mode (…)

“Remove” edge

“Extrude” edge (you can also select multiple edges)

“Chamfer”: prdouce round corners (adjust segments for smooth corners!)

“Bridge”: produce surface between two edges

Selection tools: select edges with “ring” and “loop”

“Connect”: adds and adjusts edges

“Create shape from selection”: can be bezier and linear line

Insert vertex point

Border are inline and outlineegdes: Extude, chamfer (see edge)

“Cap”: fills wholes

“Bridge”: connect bordres of borders in same object

Solve problems with transformation with adding “reset XForm”

“Connect”

“Extrude”, “Bevel” (like extrude + scaling the new polygon)

“Outline”: scale polygon in planar surface

“Inset” creats new polygons in polygon selection

“Bridge”: connect polygons and polygon groups

“Flip”: change direction of “normal” of polygon face (red points up, green points down)

Intro

“Quick slice”: cut edges of all selected faces

“Cut”: cut with mouseclick at specific points

“Attach” different objects to one editable poly

“Detach” selection of polygons to other objects or clone

“make planar” flattens all polygons to one hight

“Hide selected” on component level

“Constrains”: moves f.e. vertices just along face, edge or normal
