Member Smolli Posted June 29, 2016 Member Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hi, still trying out the trial version and of course still somewhat confused about the 3D-Coat way of doing things. Eg, I imported a model from Lightwave as normal Meshes as it's Low-Poly and I would like to fix some issues and enhance some things. I noticed that I can't snap to vertices or do anything outside of my active layer. In Lightwave I like having my parts split into layers to be able to concentrate on these. Is there a way to snap (eg move a vertex to another that is in another layer? I can't imagine that this is not possible, bit I couldn't find out how to do it. This is a standard procedure in LW. Thanks! Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19591-snapping-vertices-in-different-layers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Smolli Posted June 29, 2016 Author Member Share Posted June 29, 2016 I think I got it somehow now. Not entirely sure what I did though The problem I have now, is that with so many parts I wish there was a way to simply click on a polygon and have the appropriate layer set to active. Sometimes (I don't know why) the active layer suddenly changes and I have the polygons created on the wrong layer, or I am wondering why I can't create new polygons.

Member Smolli Posted June 29, 2016 Author Member Share Posted June 29, 2016 Ok, it seems as if I use the wrong tool for the fixing of bad and faulty topology and modelling. So I'll have to first correct the base mesh in LW and Rhino and then do a retopo and uv in 3dc.

Carlosan Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Glad you found a solution Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19591-snapping-vertices-in-different-layers/#findComment-136956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
