append polygon from vertices like silo

#1

hello again

Is there a tool like “append polygon from vertices” in modo??

I this is very usefull to model like poly by poly.

Thanks

Roger

yes there is, it is make polygon
also you can extend edges as well for similar poly by poly construction

Wow, I didn’t eaven realize what you were asking until I read the reply. I think that’s the least descriptive way I’ve ever seen of saying “make a poly from points”. I honestly didn’t understand what you where asking. :smiley:

but it does not works as maya for example, maya shows the polygon while you make it, modo does not. In modo you select vertices and make poly or you can select edges and it can create polygons from selected edges.
but if you are asking “create polygon” tool as in maya, yes there is a polygon drawing tool as well.

or by using polygon drawing tool and geometry snap (vertex snapping) you can achieve same append polygon tool in maya as well

not the same as maya; vertices are not always merged on the new poly. this is mentioned on another thread. maya and xsi both have an add poly tool that rocks. modo still essentially lacks it.

i do not think that merging vertices is that much hard job at all (one shortcut would do it), i use maya heavily too, and i personally do not see major differences at all as far as poly making tool goes.Maya cannot make a face from selected vertices for example, you need to use poly tool, thus modo even has an advantage over maya.
