New Member Simplestroke Posted February 22, 2020 New Member Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hello, I am a concept artist and a fairly new 3D Coat user and have been messing with the program for the past month or so. First off thanks a ton for creating such an amazing program. It really feels like I am sketching in 3D and is greatly benefiting the way I work. I started off with 4.7 but quickly moved on to 4.9 after its release, for it had some amazing curve functions which greatly improved speed for concept design. My query was regarding the new beta tools. Initially while using the sphere tool with a closed spline I could make a closedshape within the spline, however with the new beta tools activated the closed spline only creates a stroke along the curve. I hope the attached image clarifies it further. Image A is what happens when I enable the Curves Editor. Image B is how it usually happens. Let me know your thoughts Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hi To use the previous workflow, you can deactivate Curves Toolset on Edit > Preferences > General Allow advanced curves toolset = off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Member Simplestroke Posted February 23, 2020 Author New Member Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hey @Carlosan Thanks for getting back on the topic. Yes, I am aware that I get the results when I go back and turn the advance settings off. I was wondering if there is a way to keep them on but still get the desired result. Either result is useful ,depending on the situation, and I was wondering if there is any easier way to choose as to what 3DCoat does with its curve tools. Thanks!

Carlosan Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi Until now the only way is turn off/on advance settings, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Member Simplestroke Posted February 27, 2020 Author New Member Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 @Carlosan Gotcha.Thanks! I actually found a quick workaround around by using the swept along curve feature, (by using a small straight curve to guide my shape). It actually gives more control over the shape made than before. It is a bit slow but gets the job done. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
