Usurpo Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 When I use my cliper tool, it completly destorys what I am trying to cut. I had heard there was a way to cut it, but leave both pieces there, only register them as seperate brushes...how do I do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greymon Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Highlight the brush you're trying to clip. Place the clip points. Youll notice one section of the brush will turn yellow. Thats the section that will remain after you clip it (by pressing Enter). To change which section remains, hold Ctrl then press enter. The new section will go yellow. To keep the entire brush and still clip, hold Shift, then press Enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeV1589 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 If you mean a mesh cylinder, you can't clip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge2211 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Patch meshes can't be clipped. What you CAN do however, is go to Gtk's Plugins menu and find "split patch," I think under BobsToolz. That will split a cylinder into 4 bevels for you (and it can also split other patches). You can then manipulate the vertices however you like (details here). When you're done, if you want, you can use the "merge patches" plugin to take two adjoining meshes and combine them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontlikegeorge Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Actually, I'd just drag vertices of the mesh, make it half size or whatever, then clone it. But I don't trust automated plugins and all that. Like terrain generators. Pffbt. Back in my day we made terrain by hand, and ya never heard me complain (when I was your age)!
