 |
|
Hello there, 
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a "Remove from Selection" tool.
Shift+Ctrl will only toggle selection for each vertex. I would like something like Shift+Alt to remove vertices from a selection. That shortcut has not been taken yet AFAIK. 
Sometimes it can be quite hard to properly select a few vertices. Let's say we have a 3x3x3 segmented cube and i only want to select the center 2x2 vertices of one plane of the cube, like:
| Code: |
O = selected
x_x_x_x
| | | |
x_O_O_x
| | | |
x_O_O_x
| | | |
x_x_x_x
|
It would require me to go to that plane in the perspective view and select them one by one. This is a real pain when working with lots of geometry with lot's of vertices.
I hope you can implement this. It will make my life much easier.

Very nice suggestion indeed.
Funny thing is: I'm working on our VertexSelector tool right now. Perhaps I can sqeeze in this request while I'm at it. Will get into it. |

I feel we still need to add this one.
Do y'all agree? |

I wouldn't find that excerise particulary daunting... but what is daunting is, when you select what you think is a single vertice, only to find someway down the road in the process.. you actually selected a couple of dozen somewhere out of sight/view. Would help perhaps to have a switch to only select vertices that are on the polygons you can see.

Well, It was just an example. Let's say you have a more complex set of vertices selected and you accidently select a few extra vertices. It's quite annoying to have to click each one of them to remove them from the selection again. Ctrl + dragselect can be dangerous because it might add new vertices to the selection, you don't want.
My NashaUV plugin allready has "remove from selection" (Shift + alt + click/drag). IMHO it works pretty good.
About your issue: I don't see when that happens. If I click-select a vertex, that will be the only vertex that get's selected. If you drag-select vertices, only the ones on polygons that are facing the camera, will be selected.
Your problems could be fixed by adjusting your workflow a bit. You should deselect (Shift + click in the void) before you start selecting something new. |
