Mesh Extraction Problems


#1

Hello, maybe someone can give me a hint. Im trying to do an extraction
from a masked area of my model, the problem is that i dont want the extraction
to be double…

I supose i should mask only the exterior part of my original model, but im having
trouble doing that… Any tip is welcome.

If it were me, I’d make the inside and outside of your base model two separate polygroups and then hid the interior when you paint your mask for the extraction.

However if that’s not going to be straightforward you could try enabling the Backfacemask under the Brush > Auto Masking sub-palette before you paint your mask. This should stop the brush from painting on the other side of your geometry.

Hope that all makes sense?
