Any fix the Wings3d filling all holes randomly?

Post by Erik »

Wings3D has the weird and extremely annoying habit of filling all holes and thing that it considers to be holes. I there any alternative program? or any plugin that fixes this?

it's never comfortable to have your holes unexpectedly filled :mrgreen:

i tried wings once upon a time, but stuck with 3dsmax because the uvw tools seemed superior.

blender is also very popular (and free) but i haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet and can offer nothing more.

you cannot have holes in wings3d it is a contiguous mesh editor.

you can have a holes material and on export that model polygon will be removed.

you are requesting a fix on a feature that doesn't exist.

Smoth is correct. If you're going to use Wings to unwrap stuff that you modeled elsewhere, it's usually wise to leave geometry that is going to be cut later.

current Wings beta version 1.1.11 introduces real "holes" instead of fake hole material ~ might want to check it out

*groans*

could be an issue because you are running the unstable DEV version.

I've always used the dev versions and never had a single crash or error.

The current beta version of wings also introduces a bug in which the UV editor does not update itself when using the undo function.
