Maya Update 3 Quad Draw a feature removed?

[ddankhazi]

Hi there,

Maybe I'm missing something.

Did you really removed the ability to draw a mesh from scratch with the Quad Draw Tool?

Now, I have to draw a quad with the Create Polygon Tool then switch to Quad Draw.
Is there any particular reason you removed this simple feature?

Cheers,
Denes

In Update 3 Quad Draw was extended to work with any mesh so you can tweak, fill holes and relax without a live reference surface.

This required us to change the existing behaviour of Quad Draw slightly so to create a mesh from scratch you first need to choose a live surface to draw on. e.g. create a mesh plane and make it live

Hi Brent,

Thank you for the quick reply.
All right, I can understand that.
By the way the new UV Editor is really good. Great work.
