Hey guy's

This question has been on my mind for a long time: What is the difference between a Polygon and a Face?

Why can't we just merge the tool palettes for these two primitive types?

Thanks!

in the 3D world there isn't really a difference between face or polygon, but in DeleD the difference is that face mode has to do with texturing and uv's and polygon mode the actual modelling of the mesh with polygons.

They could name it UV "mode" to make it more clear.

Yeah "UV-mode" makes more sense. Smile

Such a mode could also be replaced by a UV toolbox, that becomes usable when in polygon mode. I think UV-tools and goemetry-tools should be seperated because they do not properly overlap. Making a seperate box for UV also allows for more UV-tools to be integrated into DeleD, while keeping it organized and user-freindly.

Point on the confusing name taken.

I don't think I'd endorse separating UV tools from the rest, though. Yes, currently it is "face mode" v.s. "all geometric editing modes", but the interface is converging towards "a heterogenous set of editing modes including animation tools, all with a similar interactivity process".
