Create Convex Hull WITHOUT triangulating?

Tomkat · 14th December 2021, 11:31 AM

I there a toggle setting (on/off) or something that I can specify that when I choose "create convex hull" from vertices.... that I do not want it to automatically triangulate the surfaces? I need non-triangulated surfaces, and it is very tedious and time-consuming to go through and re-combine each surface.

A convex hull must be made from triangles but there is a "quadrangulate" coming in the next version which would probably help.

Sounds great.... I am certainly going to need to upgrade, at some point.
