Kevin, You really are the BEST. Great content, super succinct, clever, and funny too. I am so glad to have your videos. I am sure I would never have learned how to use this tool like you do with watching your video... Even after years and years of using it. Thank you and I hope you never stop making these tutorials. They are all small (or big) lessons in a MASTER CLASS! Cheers, Karl
Hello Kevin The topics you share are very valuable. Thank you very much for this. I think it is very useful to improve myself. Keep making videos like this :)
Damnit Kevin... your videos are so chock full of excellent information that I'm learning TONS in a hurry. So much so, that I fear my feeble mind will be overwhelmed. Thank goodness I can just keep going back and re-watching. Thank you SO much for putting these tutorials together. They are immensely helpful to me as a professional in the industry.
i'v been missing out a lot before these tips. i have a question. in concept modeling, do you recommend using mutlispan surfaces? if yes, when and why? what kind of shape they can help you accomplish and what shape they cannot do ? thank you
Draft is a nice tool but I found it's lack of control of the surface degree and span (like explicit control). So it may not hold G0 continuity with the source sometimes. Do you find similar issues in your use?
hey Kevin - quick question when drawing curves, is there a way to create a curve with a set length while being able to snap along an edge/vector etc? I've looked everywhere for this functionality and can't find it. Again coming from rhino, when creating a 1 degree curve you simply type in the length in command line and no matter where you place you second point to create the line its locked in to the specified length. The closest I could find was using the key point curve box and creating a line which interactively displays "length" in the command line but as soon I let go it disappears and doesn't allow me to type in the length I want.
Wish I could see the specific situation. Your correct Alias doesn't have anything quite like Rhinos tool. Its one of the weaknesses. For Keypoint lines, Open the Information window(default is Ctrl+5) and in the attributes at the top is the ability to input the exact length. To snap the curve to another edge use CURVE EDIT > MODIFY > TRANSFORM CURVE. Either in the options oo the on screen action buttons, change it to Rotate. This breaks the Keypoint functionality and turns it into a regular curve but keeps the length when snapping. Also, if you simply want to know the length of a curve, the information windows - Geometry info section shows the Arc length that can be helpful.
@@kevinr6236 Thanks for the explanation, I just did some quick screen shots to show the functionality, I pick my first reference point for the line, then type the length and an interactive line appears showing you the length no matter where you move the point location and works interactively with snaps: ibb.co/TvpgfWB

you are a blessing
good tips. This is a new channel. Please go on. Thx!
metadata is so cool! I never know it could be used in this way.
I thought I was familiar with all the draft options . . . that is until I watched this!
Thanks a lot mate! It's very useful stuff!
It's just a mind blowing tutorial on draft...can u make tutorial on align, align 08?... It would be great help to beginners.
Ill try to put something together in the near future!
awsome
