Hi Martin, Thank you for your feedback. *3+*. +1 for double edges highlighting ! You reminds me that case of double edges that sharing their vertices. I merge all double vertices but double edges still here. I need to use cleanup tool to merge these edges. Is this may have an interest or is it just a bug ?
*10.* There is the "Template" option in the "Object Display" but in this mode I can't snap anything to this object. 2015-02-05 7:26 GMT+01:00 Martin Yara <[email protected]>: > Hi Julien, > > A little feedback > > 1.
