Advice on More Control in Maya Multicut


#1

Hey all,

Does anyone know how I can make faster selections for Multicut in Maya?
I would like something where I can select one edge then select another and have Maya auto connect the edges
(I dont want the select by edgeloops because I want more specific control)

Also I would like for the Multicut to stop going off the current edges of the model like how the orange line moves off the blue lines of the model

Any ideas?

You can select a certain range of the edge loop by first selecting one edge, and then double clicking to another edge on the same loop. Then hit CTRL right click to convert your selection to verts. You can then hit SHIFT Right Click merge verts to merge these two edges. If you go into the settings for merge verts you can increase the distance in which it will merge verts.

Multicut has no auto connect edge feature so I think this would be your best bet to connect edges.

Also for multicut CTRL click makes a whole edge loop that you can alter after its made.
