Hi Staffs ^^

I´ve just a small MED improvement Question..

When you select one vertex, you can set it´s position with the Vectorfields on the bottom of the window.

That´s cool..

But.. why isn´t this working if you select multiple vertexs?

I was sitting down here now for more than 1 Day, just to bring all vertexs of a model to their correct position, so they fit other neightbour model-vertexs..

And that job really can be done by simple selecting all vertexes of 1 side, write in the matching X,Y or Z value.. and hit Enter..


Pls add this improvement to MED.. I wasted here 24 work-hours just for that *shit* of work

(sry for bad words.. but this problem really sucks..)

I agree with the request, although the threads title is in no way funny.

You can do that!

Just select multiple vertices. Then you have to click on one of the selected vertices. Then the position box on the bottom will be unlocked and the vertex you've clicked is the reference for position values wink

I believe already the first MED version could move multiple vertices. I'm sorry to hear that you still moved all those vertices manually - we'll make this more clear in the manual.

Although I didn't knew that feature that's not what at least I was talking about. This way the relative distances between the vertices remains fixed. I want to first select an arbitrary number of vertices and then set their x, y and z positions. When setting these coordinates all selected vertices should get the same values and not remain on their relative distances. The result would be the same as first merging those vertices and then move the merged one around - just without the merging... ^^

But then you lost the feature of moving multiple vertices with fixed relative distances. This is a really important feature. The way of first merging all vertices and then setting its position is the only way that works without kicking the other feature. Or there could be a flag in the preferences where you could choose between both methods.

I don't think that a flag in the preferences will do the trick as you might want to switch between these modes frequently. But I agree that this requires some UI work. Maybe two buttons like the ones for Soft and Dynamic Selection?

Or just working with a hotkey for merging?
