C6 symmetrical modeling question - Polyloop

CarlLydon · 4th September 2007, 22:29

I love the symmetrical modeling tool. Sometimes, when I make it active, the reflection plane is not centered. I can't seem to move the plane directly (or can I?) and if I try to deselect symetric modeling, move the whole model and reselect, th eplane moves with the model. If I try moving the model with the plane active all kinds of symetrical wakyness happens.

How do I center the reflection plane?

Also, I've noticed that The loop tool doesn't work as well as it used to, particularly if there is more than mesh in one vertex object. If you try to loop select on one mesh, it selects a bunch of things on another mesh (and not in a loop, either)

HI.

In the VM just go to the Model dropdown menu and select: Center Symmetry Plane On Selection" thats should re center the symmetry plane.

I'm having the same problems with the loop tool with some models. Be sure to report it in the DAZ Bug tracker, so the programmers can be aware of it. With all the comments about importing content, we content creators have to be just as "loud" by reporting bugs and such.
