Without that first loop, Connect will make closed loops that go all the way round the cylinder.Īverages the positions of the selected vertices, taking into account the vertices that surround the selection.Īs you drag the mouse, Wings uses percentages to show the strength of Tighten. Here, Connect will create spiraling threads to try and conform to that loop. For example, in the image on the right, a guiding edge loop has been created manually. Tends to create quads when given a choice.

The point that the plane must pass throughĬreates edges that connect the selected vertices as long as the vertices share a face.

The point that the line must pass through.

RMB-Collects all selected vertices at the point where a custom line intersects a custom plane.

Specify two things: the normal of the resulting planes and the line that runs through them (and 'marks' vertex positions).

The positions and spacing between the vertices are determined as follows: Wings puts parallel planes through each vertex and positions the vertices where their planes intersect the specified line.

MMB-Arranges the selected vertices along the specified line.

Specify the axis first and the plane next.

LMB-Projects the selected vertex or vertices along an axis onto a plane.

The target plane passes through the center of the selection, so it doesn't make sense to use this option with one vertex selected.Īdvanced aligning, projection and snapping tool.

RMB-Specify a custom axis for the plane normal.

MMB-Specify two things: a custom axis (for the plane normal) and a custom point that the target plane must pass through.

With advanced menus enabled, right-clicking an axis label lets you choose the point that the target plane must pass through.

LMB-Use one of the world axes, the default axis or the last axis.

Has three modes depending on which mouse button you click the command with:

Can be used to make areas of the model planar or as a snapping tool. Puts the selected vertex or vertices on a plane perpendicular to the axis you specify. If you use custom axes, the pivot point (scaling center) is set automatically as well.Ĭreates an edge loop that splits the edges connected to each selected vertex, and moves the vertex along the axis you specify, creating a 'spike'. Each vertex stays on the plane perpendicular to the specified axis. Scale Radial scales sideways around the axis you specify, but not along it. If you use custom axes, the pivot point (scaling center) is set automatically as well. Scale Axis scales the selection along the axis you specify. This can be used to quickly snap a vertex somewhere. If you use custom axes, specify the pivot point (scaling center). Scale Uniform scales the selection in all directions at once. If you use custom axes, the pivot point (center of rotation) is set automatically as well. To rotate the selection, specify the pivot axis. To move the selection, specify the axis you want to move it along. Moving, rotating or scaling are straightforward operations. The Last Axis menu item recalls the axis you used during your most recent operation. To recall the default axis for a vertex operation, such as Move, select Default Axis from the vertex operations menu.

A default axis is stored until you redefine it. This is done in two stages: first you specify the actual axis, and then the point of origin for that axis. To define the default axis, use the Tools | Set Default Axis in the main menu. For details about this feature, see Advanced Menus.Ī default axis is an axis that you define in advance to use later. Otherwise, the specified direction/orientation is used by all selected vertices.Ĭustom axes can be specified only when advanced menus are enabled. If you specify vertex normals as the axis (by selecting Normal), each selected vertex uses its individual normal. In addition to the three world axes-X, Y and Z-many commands work with vertex normals, custom axes, default axes and most recently used axes. This axis defines the direction or orientation for the command. Many commands require that you select an axis from the menu.

To use the commands in the menu, select one or more vertices and press RMB. With advanced menus disabled, some options and commands are unavailable. This section lists commands as they appear with advanced menus enabled.
