Help me @mihai.s , lol…, or anyone else please, @DaveR @JustinTSE do you have any good tips?: I’m looking to find the best workflow I can to make quad geometry that is truly planar, not this half and half thing where a quad is made up of two triangles that can be in different planes, I don’t want t…

Hey everyone, I’ve just made a post sharing my workflow with people on quad type creation and simple geometry. I hope you enjoy it, was a heck of a time learning all that I did trying to get to this point. Thanks for everyones help on this. This topic can be closed now. You can see my workflow here …

I just did a Google search and found this: faces - How to make all quads or ngons on your mesh planar (2d)? - Blender Stack Exchange I haven’t read the entire thread yet and haven’t tested it.

Thanks Mihai! I appreciate your feedback! I read this post last night but not much of it, I’m starting to read all of it now and already learning some interesting things. I think there is no easy way to make a face planar without effecting everything else, there has to be compensation made and littl…

Thanks for reaching out John! Yea I actually just made the most recent comment on it haha… Any clever ideas come to your mind?

Sorry, no new ideas here. And sorry I hadn’t checked to see that you already posted to that thread.

Oh no worries. Thanks for sharing!

Finding your post quite interesting. My carpenter brain has switched into overdrive. Wondering exactly how this “climbing wall” is to be constructed ? What type of framing " How it’s skinned and what the final finish is ? Going to keep my thoughts on this to myself until I have more info… :thinking: …

An amazing plugin would be one that takes the entire mesh, calculates each quad and makes each quad planar in the position it is in, this would not effect the mesh much than and it would give me a great starting point to manually draw in and clean up the non planar quads to be totally planar. I’m fi…

Cool!! Thanks! The final finish should be planar faces ideally and as few as possible for easy construction. I just shared my process above this comment before I saw your comment, what do you think about it, do you have a better method maybe?

Asked about how it was to be constructed ,framing etc… because I’ve seen a number of climbing walls built. They were made around a central metal superstructure and the irregular shape was formed with rebar. After covering the rebar with fine metal mesh they used" shotcrete" to create the final shape…
