Im comming off of wings 3d and decided to switch because it feels stupidly outdated, but now im looking to see if i can do some of the same things i do in wings. One of my most used tools in wings was the cut tool where you select an edge and as the name implies, cut it into a certain number of segments. There was also an inset tool that would inset faces (create smaller faces within a face basically.) Is there anything like this in su?

Hey all been trying to import a certain file into su and it keeps crashing! If someone could take a look it it i would be forever in your debt!

Its a little high polygon but not too bad

Hey all trying to import a 3ds file and it keeps crashing whenever i try to import it. Its pretty high poly (around 90k) but i have my other modelling app set up to export at 10x scale. I found some wierd geometry but i fixed it and it still crashes

Im looking for a fluid simulation. Anyone know of one?

OK, I just picked up sketchy physics a few days ago. Im not planning on doing anything fancy with it. Just using the collisions to set up a shot for a render.

So, here is a shot of what I have going on

Basically what im trying to do is add in some gravity to get the lego blocks to fall into the dish in a pile. That's it. So, the question is what state would I want to set things to? Correct shape?

All I want is two things. Something that divides an edge into a given number of equidistant points.. and then a tool for connecting said points (aka creation more faces.) Now I dont know squat about coding, but i dont think it should be too hard to do...

So are there other ways of creating the hemisphere? How did you do it? It's a little hard to get sketchup to make the other circle standing up.

I guess i missed the option for changing the # of sides when creating the circle

@dave r said:

Turn on hidden geometry and select the half you don't want. Delete the selection.

It would be easier just to make a hemisphere in the first place.

hmm, I used a plugin to make the sphere and it doesn't seem to have a hemisphere option.. I could have used su's tools, but it creates low poly spheres.

The offset tool did the trick! I have another question.. I have a sphere that I want to cut in half,, what would be the best way to go about doing this?
