What's New in Modeling

Relax brush

Quickly clean up new topology created with the Quad Draw tool using the new Relax brush. When the Quad Draw tool is active, select from relax options, and then drag the brush across your mesh to even out the spacing between vertices.

Edge extend

Speed up topology creation with new Extend options. You can now Ctrl + Shift-drag existing edges, borders, edge loops, and vertices to quickly create new polygons while using the Quad Draw tool.

Auto-weld

You can now eliminate overlapping components when you create or edit a Quad Draw mesh. When the new Auto-weld option is enabled, the Quad Draw tool automatically welds components that are close together.

Make Live

You can now snap the Quad Draw tool to a surface using Make Live. The improved Make Live feature replaces the Modeling Toolkit's Other Surface transform constraint. Updates include a field that displays the name of the current live surface and a popup-menu that lets you select from previous live surfaces.

• Retopologize a mesh with Quad Draw

Construction history support

The Quad Draw tool no longer deletes pre-existing history on a mesh. When construction history is turned on in the Status Line, history nodes are now created as you work.
