      Perhaps some type of Patch and Subdivide Hole process for a closed loop of edges which would create a compatible mesh to blend in with the slope of bordering surfaces.

      This would be helpful for the surfacing of a top-most contour line or small areas the need to be "re-meshed".

        Repair holes, I dunno if it's even possible but imagine if there was a way to fix those tiny holes that sometimes appears after subdivision.

          There's been some discussion about this with thomthom under the 'SolidInspector' posts... it MUST be possible - although it is NOT easy! πŸ˜’

            will ever artisan support quad faces?
            or at least preserve it in case the proxy was properly created with thomthom quadface/vertex tools or fredo curviloft or tig extrusion tools or any other tools wich eventually generates quads? ❓

            it would be very useful for cleaner topology, faster selections, better texture mapping etc. πŸ‘

              My wish would be to be able to choose the shape of the brush. For the moment, or I missed something, the Brush is only a circle, I would love to see elispe, squarre or custom shapes used as brush pattern !!

                hmm.... an idea form ... what about being able to define a shape by selected face?

                    For the tool that flattens a selection to a plane, have the ability to input a Z-value or click on a surface once, and use the Z-value of that point to serve as the height of the plane.

                            Let me know if you got questions on the quads.

                                Hi guys, I was wondering whether the next Artisan could get real-time feedback, like the good old subdivide-and-smooth plugin.
                                Actually, I never understood why this useful feature was removed in the first place.

                                  Hi Carrozza,
                                  Actually the feature was never removed πŸ˜•

                                  Make sure you have 'Create Proxy From Group' turned on in the 'Settings' dialog. Then, just create a group and apply the SDS tool to it.

                                    Oops, I'd teach myself to RTFM... sorry.

                                    Edit: how do I "discard" the proxy and commit the subdivided mesh? Enter doesn't do it.
                                    This time I searched before asking but had no luck.
                                    Thanks!

                                      Ehm, I guess enough time passed after my question to make a bump.

                                      Is it possible to commit a subdivision discarding the proxy?

                                      Thanks!

                                        Do you want

                                        1. to make a subdivision with a group proxy and delete the proxy afterwards or
                                        2. to subdivide without the use of a group proxy?

                                        answer 1: you can edit the group and delete the proxy geometry (see picture)
                                        answer 2: you can subdivide in the context of the group (no proxy will be created)

                                            Thank you Cotty, it was the first one.
                                            Somehow I supposed that there was a "commit" command that would do this automatically, but manually deleting the proxy group is fine.
