Quadfrace Tools in 2025
-
I am having a problem with quadface tools in 2025. I have watched a video and want to do some very basic things. I want to add a loop in either a box or a shaft. I drew the box and then clicked on one of the edges and then clicked on the add loop tool but nothing is happening.
Can someone help me understand how to get this done?
Also, why am I seeing the dotted lines in this simple object?

All the models you have uploaded lately have the dotted lines showing, these are the back edges and I assumed you wanted them on. They can be turned on and off in the Style settings, the View menu Edge style or by tapping k on your keyboard.
I'm not sure what you are doing wrong but add loop works for me.

BTW: Somewhere I thought I saw a tutorial where you used Quadface Tools to Fran kind of a fancy bracelet which I wanted to do However, I have not been able to find it. Can you tell where to find it?

That could mean just about anything, so No I have no idea what you saw.

First of all, I see that I was clicking the wrong icon to add the loops. Feeling really stupid.
As for the other item, I saw a gif where you drew a cylinder and then created a bunch of additional loops. You then did something where you did something to make smaller boxes inside of each of the quads and then extruded them. Was a pretty neat model but I cannot find the gif file again.
I really appreciate your responses and your patience with my silly questions.

You might be talking about this but it uses several extensions.

Thanks Box, that is it. I would like to save a link to it.

By the way, in your video, what is the extension (toolbar) next to your Joint Push Pull toolbar in the gif? I also need to check and see if I have the Split Tools extension installed.

I guess you mean the one with the V on it, that when clicked activates the vertex tool, hmm what could it be.
