Mirror / move / Remove guides

Hi,

1) After I place a GUIDE(strand) single, how do I move entirely the guide for a different position IF I placed wrong?

 

2) Is there a way to delete all guides at once? Or I have to remove using the remove brush?

 

Seems that the brush creation or grab does not work always with mirror on.

 

Hi, 

1. Select the strand and move it using Maya's default move tool.

2. There is a button in Edit Guides to remove all selected strands.

I cannot reproduce the mirror issue with the Crate and Grab brush. Can you try to reproduce this in a new scene with a sphere? You may also want to try with the latest nightly build.

Thanks Jeordanis. I will try the latest build too :)
Cool

Hi Jeordanis,

For some reason. I am not able to move over the surface a single GUIDE/strand. The translate does not work.

I feel that the new ornatrix v3. Have a few features that are missing.

1) A brush that moves only guides.

2) A brush for select/unselect guides.

The hotkey is missing for unselect single guides.(we can just select, but not unselect). You guys could setup - SHIFT + LMB -> to select       
and SHIFT + MMB -> to unselect

3) The add Guides Brush, depending on how you press. Can come 1-X guides.(Even with Root count =1). And seems that the new guide does not conform properly with other guides around.(Should have switch ON and off to conform with guides around)

Very hard to work without being able to move guides around freely.

During the process of grooming, it crashes quite often with V3.

thanks

 

 

 

 

Hello,

For some reason. I am not able to move over the surface a single GUIDE/strand. The translate does not work.

This is a Maya bug. Find the solution here. As you can see it is working correctly here:

1) A brush that moves only guides.

Use Maya's default transformation tools. See the link above for more details. 

2) A brush for select/unselect guides.

Press Shift while in brushing mode to activate the selection brush.

The hotkey is missing for unselect single guides.(we can just select, but not unselect). You guys could setup - SHIFT + LMB -> to select       
and SHIFT + MMB -> to unselect

For now when in Edit Strands Mode you can select and unselect guides as any other Maya object, with the same hotkeys. We will look into adding more hotkeys to the selection brush. 

3) The add Guides Brush, depending on how you press. Can come 1-X guides.(Even with Root count =1). And seems that the new guide does not conform properly with other guides around.(Should have switch ON and off to conform with guides around)

<span>I don't quite understand the first issue. Can you please record a short video showing the problem? </span>

<span>As for the second issues, the Create brush seems to conform the new guides properly. If this issue is exclusive to a particular scene then we need it for testing and debugging. </span>

If you experience any crashes try to reproduce it and do the same in a new scene. If it can be reproduced in a new scene please share the steps here. If the crash can only be reproduced in a particular scene we need to look into it. Send us a simplified version of your scene for debugging.
