Member lildragon Posted April 12, 2014 Member Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Hiya, currently cleaning up a gun from 3dsmax and wanted to created some sharper surfaces by freezing an area and using the cutoff tool to create a nice planar surface... sadly it seems that the tool ignores frozen areas which makes me a sad panda Is there an option I'm missing? Or maybe I should use surfhide instead? This is in surface mode btw thx Edited April 12, 2014 by lildragon Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/16031-cutoff-tool-ignores-frozen-area/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted April 12, 2014 Contributor Share Posted April 12, 2014 Would Ctrl-Shift-I (to invert the selection) help?

Member lildragon Posted April 12, 2014 Author Member Share Posted April 12, 2014 No unfortunately that won't work... it'll just make the same thing happen in reverse Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/16031-cutoff-tool-ignores-frozen-area/#findComment-107674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sounds like a bug. If you can report it to Mantis that would be awesome. I'll pass this along to Andrew as well.

Carlosan Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hide frozen dont show a full object, it show the carcass when i perform the cutoff and unhide the object the hole have no bridge in between internal faces Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/16031-cutoff-tool-ignores-frozen-area/#findComment-107704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Pay attention if cutoff touches open edge (even if it is edge of hidden area) bit will not create bridge because is is uncertain operation.

Member lildragon Posted April 14, 2014 Author Member Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yeah this works but it unfortunately cuts a hole in the mesh as opposed to just flattening the volume Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/16031-cutoff-tool-ignores-frozen-area/#findComment-107774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
