      Powerful and excellent tool! Fun too! My main problem with vertex tools, you can't pick a point and use inferences with the Gizmo. I often default to the simple point move tool to do that. Am I missing something?

      How would you expect inference to work with the Gizmo?
      Are you manipulating single or multiple vertices with the Gizmo?

        I mean I when I move it, after picking the direction, I want to be able to pick a point (most likely at the center of the selection) then move it relative to (inference) another point on the model, sort of a target point. Often it's not for exact lineup but for some frame of reference for the move. (Sometimes I do move single points with it. Maybe there's no point using it for that?)

          maybe you are missing that if you activate the move tool with soft selection turned on, it does exactly what you are asking for πŸ‘
          or pheraps i did'nt 100% understand your point..

                  hi there,

                  just wantet to state a feature request for vertex tools πŸ˜ƒ

                  how about the option to merge vertices to a designated spot/selected vertice? that would really help!

                  thanks

                            Thomas, can we chamfer a vertex? or vertices at the same time with some given parameters as in max?

                              At the moment no - but I'm working on version 2.

                              However, it's been a while since I used Max - do you have some visuals of what this feature looks like? GIF?

                                  Here you've got endless source for inspiration. They were bought out by AD and became 'graphite tools' inside 3ds Max. The amount of work is huge so I guess you should cooperate with Fredo and found start-up for porting Polyboost set to SU πŸ˜„

                                    This is a screen shot of two of the other things to do with vertex-

                                    Chamfer (or offset if no value to chamfer) and Extrude.

                                    vertex edit

                                    Not for any particular model in mind at the moment but I just like the ability to control vertices with some common parameters to play with. By playing around sometimes inspiration comes!

                                    I dont know if this is something in your immediate plans.

                                    Do you plan to include inset?. I dont know if it falls under the category of vertex though.

                                    .

                                      Am I right in thinking that you should be able to enter a relative value when extruding?

                                      Just trying to figure out if I'm misremembering this function or if another plugin is causing a conflict.

                                        What do you mean by relative value? And what are you observing?

                                          I'd imagine what David is mentioning is that VCB input after CTRL+Drag returns the selected extrusion to it's origin.
