[edit] 2.40 Release

[edit] Organic Extrusion

Ctrl LMB Image:Template-LMB.png in Edit Mode now extrudes the entire selection, or adds a vertex if nothing is selected. The extrusion is rotated based on the angle it was extruded at. Image:Organic_extrude.png

[edit] Selection

Selecting by edge count

In Face select mode, faces can be selected based on whether they are triangles, quads, or other. Hotkeys:

  • CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-3 selects all triangles
  • CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-4 selects all quads
  • CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-5 selects all non triangle/quad faces.

These tools are also available in both the 3D view header and Toolbox Select menus.

[edit] Misc

  • Curves in EditMode draw extrusions, bevel objects, and tapers in Solid mode.
  • The calculation of normals and smoothness when adding new faces with F has been improved, as well as allowing faces to be created in more situations.
  • The Convert to Triangles tool (Ctrl T) checks for the shortest diagonal to determine how the triangles are created. SHIFT-CTRL-T creates the triangles exactly opposite of the Ctrl T tool, which can be helpful for low-poly modeling.
