      Peter, if you triangulate the surface, you don't need AutoFold which puts the "creases" in for you automatically.

      Steve, I appreciate your desired to keep entity counts low but in this case, you're actually increasing the entity count because you have to have triangular faces instead of quadrilaterals.

        Thanks, I see that Dave. But Steve said he didn't use auto-fold so I wondered how could he have created the problem shape. Perhaps he just doesn't call it that.

        Good point about the poly count!

          I suppose since he's not using Move, he couldn't use AutoFold since it's sort of a modification of the Move tool. πŸ˜‰

                          Don't let it embarrass you. Someone else is sure to learn from it.

                            Where do I go to get back all the time I wasted fixing things I didn't need to fix? Some sort of form to fill out?

                              I don't know but when you find it, let me know. I need the same thing.

                                Back there a ways, somebody said they never heard of Nudge. The only thing in the Index is nudgeOrbit by TIG. Is there another tool?

                                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                    Yeah, Nudge is good. I wouldn't say it replaces Move. I checked-- I guess it has "auto-fold" built in.
                                    Where do you get auto-fold for the laundry function?

                                      It's right next to the Iron tool. I always have difficulty with the Bleach tool. πŸ˜„
