Im comming off of wings 3d and decided to switch because it feels stupidly outdated, but now im looking to see if i can do some of the same things i do in wings.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?

Anyway to do this in su?

Thanks! That did it! My other question was is there a plugin floating around to cut edges? Wings3D has a tool that lets you cut an edge into a certain amount of vertices. The advantage her is that you could get evenly spaced points instead of having to eye ball it.

Hey, I tried to scale one of my faces, but it ended up only scaling it in a single axis. How would I do it for all of them at the same time?
