Loop Tool

The Loop Tool is used to create and edit edge-loops in quad-based geometry.  If your model is not quad-based, the loop tool has limited use.

Press ALT to toggle between Edit and Add Loop modes.

Operation (Edit Mode)

1. Move the mouse over an edge loop and it will become highlighted.
2. Click a highlighted loop to start editing.
3. Move the mouse to slide the loop and change the position.
4. While the loop is selected, you can press DELETE to delete the loop.
5. Click again to set the new position of the loop.

Operation (Add Loop Mode)

1. Move the mouse over an edge.  A preview of the new loop will be displayed.
2. Click a point on an edge to create a new loop at that position.

Modifiers

• SHIFT = Tap to match the orientation of the adjacent loops.  The matched loop will highlight.  Tap SHIFT again to choose the opposite loop or disable loop matching.
