Mesh PolyCut: Difference between revisions
(Undo revision 1228800 by FBXL5 (talk)Sorry, but this is not good. 'Polyline tool" is awkward: In the Usage paragraph "polygon" is used, and "tool" is used instead of "command" in the Wiki. "Two or more objects" is incorrect as the command will only create a single new object. And why facet/triangle instead of faces? Finally: the Description paragraph should not repeat too much info from the Usage paragraph.) Tag: Undo |
