“Edit Poly” modifier

Difference between “Editable Poly” and “Edit Poly”

Subobject-level: Vertice, edge, border, polygon, element

Edit poly: Selection option (STRG: select, ALT: deselect, SHIFT: select lines and mouseover selection, “Ignore Backfacing”, Grow, Shrink

Edit poly selection: Ring/Loop on edge-level, “Get stack selection”, select by random/amount, “Soft selection” menue

Swap subobject level and how to recognize subobject level, rename “Edit poly” modifier

Check amount and name of vertices: “Vertex 51 selected” (name), “242 vertices selected” (Amount)

“Remove” vertices: “remove” and backespace key, “delete” key makes a whole in 3d object, select several vertices

!”Break” vertices and move vertices via “local” setting in “reference coordinate system”

“Weld” vertice point, “target weld”, “connect”

“Extrude” vertice point and use parametric “animate mode”

“Chamfer” vertice points

“Inset” vertices and “remove” edges, “split” edges

“Connect” edges f.e. for window design

“Extrude” edges and “chamfer” edges (open chamfer for pattern + shell modifier)

“Bridge” edges: copy element and create borders before

“Create shape” out of edges: linear and smooth (with bezier points), render to viewpoint or add “sweep-modifier”

! Appereance of “Edges”: show “hard” or “smooth”

“Inset vertice” points with snap function on, “create outline”

“Inset” polygons: by polygon and by group (good for windows)

“Extrude” end “bevel” polygons

“Bridge” polygons, put “opensub-modifier” for smooth surface on top

“Hindge” from edge

“Extrude along spline”

“Flip” polygons. Be aware of top and bottom side of each polygon

“Create”: draw new polygons in and on 3d-object

“Attach” and “Detach” polygons by mouse klick or list-selection

“Cut”: cut polygons by drawing cutting lines

“Quick Slice”: slice plane along selection of poygons

“Make planar”: select polygons and make them planar

“Constrains”: move vertices, edges along “edge, face, normal”

“MSmooth” + “Tesselate”
