History Mode for Chamfers & Fillets

[Bruce Kieffer]

I can't believe this is still not resolved in VW 2010. We have this wonderful interface that allows us to go back through the creation history of an object to make modifications, but if you have used the 3D chamfer or fillet tools on that object, you are dead in your tracks. You get there and you have to ungroup and lose the chamfer or fillet edge work you've done.

Fillet and Chamfer Tools have been a serious "Weak Spot" in VW for far too long now.

i had hoped that the advent of the "Parasolids" integration would have solved ALL of our Woes on this front, but they do say that patience is a virtue, don't they? Too many racing stripes i guess . . . . . .

I agree, Bruce.

And I would add lofts to the list. Whenever those 3 objects are used you have to plan your workflow around being able to recreate them from scratch when it's time to edit.

Lofts must behave like multiple extrude! (when cross sections are used)

Lofts must behave like extrude along path! (when rail modes are used)

Agreed with the main post.

Shells must have history, too.

Feature based editing rather than history based editing would be far better because this would allow any change to be edited at any point without the user having to step back through a history sequence.

Hi Mike, i'm sure all suggestions made here are valid points that could do with a little consideration, but any improvement over the current Undo/Ungroup brick wall that would allow a simple backward/forward step through the "Editing Process" similar to that of all other mods would be acceptable.

Anything that works would be good . . .

Any improvement on editing the fillet/chamfer tool would be much appreciated, in fact editing on all the paths and loft type proceedures would be a great help.
