Top: The original vertex selection
Center: Vertices chamfered
Bottom: Vertices chamfered with Open on
Chamf e r Setting s —Opens the Chamfer Vertices
dialog (page 1–1070),whichletsyouchamfer
ver tices via interactive manipulation and toggle
the O pen option.
If you click this button after performing a manual
chamfer, the same chamfer is per formed on the
current selection as a preview and the dialog opens
w ith Chamfer Amount set to the amount of the
last man ual extrusion.
Target Weld—Allows you to select a vertex and
weld it to a neighboring target vertex. Target Weld
works only with pairs of contiguous vertices; t hat
is, vert ices connected by a single edge.
In Target Weld mode, the mouse cursor, when
positioned over a vertex, changes to a + cursor.
Click and then move the mouse; a dashed,
rubber-band line connects the vertex to the
mousecursor.Positionthecursoroveranother,
neighboring vertex and when the + cursor appears
again, click the mouse. The first vertex is moved to
the position of the second, the two are welded, and
Target Weld mode is automatically exited.
Co nnect —Creates new edges between pairs of
selected vertices.
Connectwillnotletthenewedgescross. Thus,
for example, if you select all four vertices of a
four-sided polygon and then click Connect, only
two of the vert ices will b e connected. In this case,
to connect all four vertices w ith new edges, use
Cut.
R emov e I so l at ed V ert i ces—Deletes all vert ices that
don’t belong to any polygons.
Remove Unused Map Verts—Certain modeling
operations can leave unused (isolated) map
vertices that show up in the Unwrap UVW editor
(page 1–888) ,butcannotbeusedformapping.
You can use this button to automatically delete
these map vertices.
Weigh t—Sets the weight of selected vert ices. Used
by the NURMS subdivision option and by the
MeshSmooth modifier (page 1–722).Increasinga
vertex weight tends to pull the smoothed result
toward the vertex.
