Ok, this may be a noob question, I am not sure.
I know we can select points then hit i key and align them for example to absolute zero for a clean edge to mirror with. However, ,y question is this, is their a tool or plugin that would allow a line to be made clean even if its in a Curve. Lets say you have a line that is in a curve but not all the points are in and are in need of attention as it may effect the smoothness of the curve. COuld we select 2 of the points that may be in good position and then using some tool bring them in a clean line but not lose the intended curve? I hope I have made my question clear! MBStudios |

Useing the stretch tool you can align any two points in one of the axis windows. You might need to take a screen for an example so we can know more exactly what you mean.

just use the set value button...I think in 7.5 it is under modify tab but i have [8] so i cannot be sure...you can always search for commands and set it later to a shortcut. This tool alows you to set a value (in your case 0) to an of the three axes. Good luck!

my bad...the "SET VALUE" is located under Modeler>Detail>Points>Set Value
remember after a Multiply command such as mirror you will have to merge the points to have a contiguous mesh. You can either manually do this by welding (same section) or "merge points" (again same section) Good Luck |

![]() I have the Manual, but admitidly I havent read through as I should. I spent the last hour or so going over it again., and lo and behold there it was as big as you please. Guess I missed it. I found a few other basic things but powerful that I missed too!! Oh well!! Still think it would be great to have a Tips and Tricks forum much better than a manual anyday. ![]() MBStudios |

I think a tips and tricks section could easily develop into the size of the manual.
