Hi, Recently I've been trying 3DCoat and I love it, but I have one problem with it. I think I have found an issue that you might want to look into. So I'm trying to retopologize a stone structure. Something has been messing up my topology and I have finally found what it is. In smart retopo if I use quadrangulation to fill parts of meshes like in the image: https://imgur.com/YRZ9e2M The auto-welding will happen over the entire polygroup. I don't know if it is a bug or not, but I don't think it is very intuitive if its not a bug. I would expect the autowelding to happen just in an area that I'm trying to fill. Of course I can decrease weld tolerance, but I don't know what those numbers correspond to. What does 4 mean exactly? What if I don't want any welding happening outside of the green line? I can put weld tolerance to 1, does this ensure it won't mess my topology outside of the quadrangulation area? The only way now for me, it is manually checking if everything is still alright. Anyway, I think it is an issue, because even if it is working as intented, it is very easy to mess your entire mesh without noticing, especially when default value is 4 and there is no warning, especially when someone is trying out the software for the first time or is a beginner at using it. Another thing is that smart retopo generated mesh doesn't snap to the sculpt very well all the time, but that's more of a minor nuisance than an issue. Hope that I didn't miss something very obvious and that this post is helpful.
