Albatross 3D - Edges

Edge toolbox

Edges Toolbox. A mesh must be selected before activating this toolbox. When working with this toolbox, the edge centers are drawn with a selection/move handle. When there is only one edge selected, The number 1 and 2 are drawn in the center of the 2 faces of the edge. The face number is asked by Albatross 3D when the user wants to add a face on a edge.
rc Key: tbxEdges


rc Key: edgeEditGroup

Select edges
rc Key: edgeSelect
shortkey: s
Selects edges. Press 'Shift' if you want to add/remove edges the current selection. Only the edges of the current mesh can be selected. It is possible to drag one selected edge.
Select edges by Rectangle
rc Key: edgeRecSel
shortkey: r

Select Edges by Area
rc Key: edgeLasso
shortkey: l

Move the selected edges
rc Key: edgeMove
shortkey: M
Moves the selected edges by dragging one of them.
Rotate the selected edges
rc Key: edgeRotate
shortkey: O

Scale the selected edges
rc Key: edgeScale
shortkey: S

Remove the selected edge
rc Key: edgeRm
shortkey: Delete
Removes the selected edges. So, the faces on each part of the edge are merged. This tools does not remove border edges.

rc Key: edgeDivideGroup

Cut the selected edges in equal parts
rc Key: edgeCut
shortkey: u
Cuts the selected edges into equal parts. The number of parts is asked, and then the selected edges are cutted. It is one way to add vertices evently.
Cut the selected edges in equal parts and join the new vertices.
rc Key: edgeCutAndJoin
shortkey: j
As for the previous tool, cuts the selected edges into equal parts. Then for each face with two selected edges, adds an edge between the added vertices of that face.
Add an edge
rc Key: edgeAdd
shortkey: a
Adds edges. The added edges must join 2 vertices and split existing faces. When the user click on an originating vertex, the possible destination vertices are highlighted.
Bevel the selected edge
rc Key: edgeBevel
shortkey: b
Bevels the selected edges. The bevel size can be changed by dragging horizontally the mouse or in the params area.
Duplicate the selected edge path
rc Key: edgeDouble
Duplicates the selected edge path.
Duplicate the selected edge path on both side
rc Key: edgeTriple
shortkey: T
Duplicates the selected edge path on both side of the path.
Hole along the selected edge path
rc Key: edgeHole
Holes along the selected edge path.
Extrude the selected edge
rc Key: edgeExtrude
shortkey: e
