Improved/Condensed Symmetry Modifier with drop-down list and Presets

[gavinwhelan3d]

I love the Symmetry modifier and use it all the time but it would be cool if instead of having to add multiple modifier to get the result I want it could all be condensed into 1 modifier like a list. Kind of like the Data Channel Modifier. Then preset could be saved and loaded on geo really quickly. 

(Smart modifier Stack please!! Smart Modifier Stack )

yeah  Blender for ex allows multiple axis symmetry inside same modifier. Its so trivial.

[Kranos_Orphydian]

did you intended multiple axis symmetry like in  Blender ?

[gavinwhelan3d]

I love the Symmetry modifier. Its the best but, it could be better. 

I often will use 3, 4 or more Symmetry modifiers to model complex repeating shapes or columns with 8 identical facing parts. I wish I could do all this in one modifier and save as a preset. Look at the attached mock-up. 

This same methodology could be applied to a number of other modifiers like Slice, Bend, Noise etc. way more I sure. 

Ultimately this  ties into a Modifier Stack overhaul I hope the Max team goes for. "Smart Modifiers" especially.

you mean multiple axis symmetry modifier right ? would be betetr to rename the title of the idea to something like this more suggestive ?

I think that is a good chance to have radial as option. You can create some like this in MCG but no all people have these knowledge. You got my attention because are years that people asking for! 🙂

I think the solution would be even simpler with multiple axis wouldnt it ?

[Kranos_Orphydian]

what do you think about the new Symmetry modifier updates. Radial, multiple axis. Pretty much what you expected when posting this idea?
