Hello,

Is it done with an option to force the gripper to normal, or perpendicular to the point where the surface in changes with this one?

Is there an option to avoid mistakenly choose points or surfaces in the background of the mesh?

Thank you.

Hi Antoine

When you select a mesh facet, the gripper is assigned normal to the facet. If you select a vertex, it uses the normal at the vertex.

>>Is there an option to avoid mistakenly choose points or surfaces in the background of the mesh?

I've been adding this into more of the tools. I do not have a option to turn on or off yet.

Thanks Antoine for the video and heads up. I've updated this in build 1149 to take the facet normal instead of the average of the vertex normals.
