Precision in morph modelling

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 17:25:46 GMT

Hello!

The new morphing tool is great but there are still some issues or at least thats what i encountered myself. How can we have precision when we draw new lines and edges. For example when we use the pen tool to add polyline, rectangle on a morph face we are first required to click anywhere on the surface but that position also becomes the starting point of the new line. How can we have more control over the insertion point?The guide lines could be of big help but from what i seen, i cannot start a new line if i click on a guideline. There should be a way to select the tool before we click on the surface or at least to have the option to choose the starting point with more precision and be able to use the 3D guidelines in connection with this pen tool. A sketchup-like workflow should be more usefull. Is there something i am missing?From what i see now, the only way to control the new line is to offset the existing edges and use them as guide lines.

To draw on any face of a Morph:

1. Select the Morph and activate the Morph Tool.
2. Click the little Editing Plane handle and select the Pick Plane command from it, then click the Morph plane on which you want to create a new line.
3. Hover your cursor over one of the corners of the Morph Face.
4. Type "X", then let's say "1000+", then "Y500+" to move the cursor in the Editing Plane 1000,500 from the corner, then press ENTER. Then click the found point to start placing the new Morph Edge.
