pnoland Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Heya, I just purchased the HD version this past week and started to get into the modeling portion of the application and I have a quick question for you Houdini modelers. Is there a fast way to cut an edge ring/loop when polygon modeling? I may be over looking it but I do not see it in the tool shelf or tab menu. For instance in Silo or Modo I can select my edges and use an edge cut and it cuts and connects the points automatically. I've found the edge divide but that's only step one in what I need to do. Also, is there a selection method for ring/loops? Sorry if this is a "You idiot, just look!' situation but I figure I'd ask here instead of trying to go crazy finding it if it is there. Thanks, Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJuice Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yerp. With the PolySplit SOP you'll want to have it set to Quad Strip, with Close Path checked. Also might want to right-click on those two settings and "make current value default". Shift+l to select loops. Works on edges, points, and polys.

pnoland Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Wow, I feel dumb. That is too easy to do in this app... It's nice that you don't even need anything selected first. Now onto finding other road blocks! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
