Simple Modeling Question

[Brian Jones]

why do you need to fix it? What you are intending to do as next steps might indicate different fixes (assuming one is necessary)

[Pierre Tessier]

I want to put this in a HyperNURBS and I want the lower part of the cube to have smoother edges.

[Brian Jones]

so you are thinking to put a loop close to the edges on the top half to get tighter corners there but have the corners rounder on the bottom?
If you terminate a loop like that it’s probably not going to translate well in a SubD (Hypernurb), If that’s what you are after I would use SubD Weights (Hypernurb weights) to sharpen the hypernurb exactly where you want or run complete loops around the edges and slide the parts you want closer or further from the corners though that would be harder depending your version of C4D – you said Hypernurbs and it hasn’t been that in a while and the older slide tool only moves single edges segments not entire selected edge groups like the current one (though there was a plugin to do that previously – KyamaSlide)

[Pierre Tessier]

I agree your suggestion. However, I would just like to be reminded how to do the loop close. Can be useful sometimes.

[Brian Jones]

I wouldn’t try to close the loop you have started, I would have used the Knife tool in Loop mode to start with – assuming your example is what you are dealing with – if you have something a lot more complex it would depend, Knife in single cut or loop mode combo probably to get the parts you need

[Pierre Tessier]

Forget about the cube, that’s not a good exemple. I remember years ago Chris Tyler had a very good tutorial on modeling where he showed how to loop close a knife cut like this. I just can’t find it. Anyway, I’ll look some more.
