Feature Request

offset cut on edge by world units! (cm)

Status:pending

This would be super handy in insuring edge loops and bevels are of a consistent width. It would be really nice to have this. Please make it so, it makes this way more useful throughout the modeling process to make cuts with cm units on components

    Hi Deepak, I'll look to make that change - actually ended up changing that in my day to day tools - Dark Arts Tools - so came to the same conclusion as you. I'll look to update the tools in the next day or so (currently set to 1/10 of the current unit). Steve

    Yeah If there is anyway like, insert cut between these 2 compoenents with an offset of .015 cm, and it will offset the insert edgeloop tool (absolute offset) by exactly .015cm from an indicated edge, that would be amazing. (hopefully that sounds a bit clearer on the request :) ). It's really odd maya doesnt have this built in, offset/insert edgeloop by WOLRD units I mean. It only does relative percentage insert/offsets sadly. Would help me a ton in my work atm. Thanks a ton!

    Yeah it's always been an issue with Maya, just working really accurately - these tools help, but they're currently confined to pure cuts through an object, which is great for ruling/measuring up an object, but not so helpful for following non-straight edgeloops. Creating a tool like that is on my to-do list. It's amazing how many tools I find odd Maya doesn't have. I've been creating jewellery of late for 3d prints which requires a 0.8mm min thickness - you would think there would be some 'fast' way to measure 2 points in Maya as opposed to the Distance Tool - so I may include that functionality in the next release of these tools, currently in my Dark Arts Tools.

    The first request with the poly tools set to 1unit is, the offset edge loop isn't.

    well if you can make an offset/slide/insert tool that works with specific amounts like .09cm from edge (absolute distance not relative) I'll def pay another 20 bucks for it :)
