Stremik Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hi. Anyone can tell me how I can split one curve in two? (sorta like cutting a thread with sizzors) Thanks. Vladimir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hey Stremik, You can use either a Clip SOP or a Carve SOP. With the Clip SOP, change the Keep parameter to be "All Primitives" & manipulate the Clip handle into position. With the Carve SOP, specify when you want to split the curve then make a Reference Copy of the SOP. In the referenced SOP, uncheck "Keep Inside" & check "Keep Outside" instead. I hope the above helps! Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stremik Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Silly me. Forgot about Carve. Thanks Steven. Worked out great! Vladimir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Carve is the ubiquitous cutter of curves but there are other ways worth mentioning. Curvesect and Surfsect SOPs can cut curves using other curves or surfaces. Great for procedural effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stremik Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 Thank you old school. Say, I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to have some kind of a balloon help in the list of operators that comes up when you right click on a "Favourite operation" button in the OP toolbar. And in the list of operators that comes up when you hover mouse over viewport and hit tab or backspace. Popping up help messages right next to a mouse would be not very good because they would be overlapping neighboring OPs in the list and one wouldn't know where to move his mouse next, so maybe it could be an empty area added to the bottom of the operator list where messages would show as you move a mouse over the names of OPs. I think this kind of improvement would be a big help! Many people(me for once) just don't know or remember what every OP does and getting a little tip when you are looking for the right one could prove usefull. Nothing too fancy! Just two or three most common things that can be done with the OP. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
