(yet about wings3d dynamic magnet visualization)

dinamic magnet blue circles can be changed?
(a) could it be visible just at that area over the geometry (no visibility against the background),
clipping the back scene?
(b) could it reveal/put in evidence just the edges which color is set to (black?), turning them white, and yet darking the faces (to increase the contrast)? (*)

in other words: enterely transparent (or almost)
and able to contrast the...

(i've already posted this at wings wants session, but as i am not sure if optigon and dgud really take a look at there, i am repeating this here: excuse me paul for the inconvenience, please remove from there what you consider wrong, ok?)

I am not sure an user very interested in "visual" wings implementations:
i love its clean work area and really this is a distinguish aspect of our love software.
But thinking about wings3d Tweak magnet visualization,

Testing and dreaming and "asking for" department, dear optigon!

<< nice to see that the user can still hit [2] and [3] keys (twice) at Tweak mode to divide edges >>

Yeah.. that wasn't intentional :P
But I don't see anything wrong with keeping that behaviour

Thanks for your continued support in the testing department.

Thank you very much, optigon!
Tweak is progressively stronger and consistent.
I thank you!

I hope wings users can experiment more (without fear)
the incredible possibilities of modelling using Edge Rings too (beyond Edge Loops).

ps: nice to see that the user can still hit [2] and [3] keys (twice) at Tweak mode to divide edges
without have to quit Tweak mode. Please keep this there,...

Okay, I've fixed Tweak Slide. Thanks for the report Fonte Boa.

I'll be doing some work on Tweak again soon and try to address this and other issues that have been mentioned in the last bit.

A video showing how powerful is Tweak|Slide edges tool.
The problem is to use the tool to slide a single edge along "edge loop" direction.
To my surprise it works with Magnet on,
but it is impossible with Magnet off.
Maybe it can be improved.
Thanks for your attention, Optigon.

Tweak|Slide edge(s) is really a powerful Wings3d tool!
Wing3d standard Slide just works moving the edge selection along its "edge ring" direction
and Tweak|Slide edges can slide multiple edge selections along their "edge loop" direction too!
Although users can feel some discomfort at the moment the two directions crosses
or if they drag the mouse "out" the pre-defined direction
(it seems Wings3d will mess the area),
the tool is...

Yes. Because regular wings magnets determine the influence of the magnet based on the distance of the surrounding vertices form the selection. So because the new geometry created by using extrude is directly adjacent to the original selection, it...

Well it turns out tweak magnets work differently than the regular wings magnets.. What I said holds true for them.
But I still think the way you did the sim is fine Extrude and then drag.

Just at the operation start, since while the user drags:
- the coordinates became different one in relation to the other
- the original selection is replaced by its copy (that will be moved during extrusion).

Probably i am missing something and cant question your...

But magnet plus extrude wouldn't work
Because the new geometry has the same coordinates as the original selection, the magnet influence on both would be the same. So the newly extruded part and the original selection would be dragged together.

Without the magnet, yes it would work. But you can hotkey Extrude and use it within tweak.

I agree with Fonte Boa, from start to finish of his post. Such a feature would make the creation of new geometry quick and smooth.

First of all, Optigon,
thank you for re-create Wings3D with all your work,
but specially Tweak (now with the "how do a live without it before" Tools | Magnet Mask):
thanks.

The main aspect in which i think Tweak could evolute
is to going beyond to be a exclusive manipulation tool and offers some ability to CREATE new geometry.

I really miss a way to just drag selection(s) extruding it and
keeping Magnet on/off.
Certainly there...
