This plugin is designed to use with MAXON's CINEMA 4D R6 to R8.5.
This plugin cut polygons with "Knife" function. Then you can specify the knife position freely and accurately by numeric or formula input. Also this plugin speed up the knife work dramatically because of the quick interface.
Functions
a. This cut selected object only. If multiple objects are selected, only first
one is modified.
b. if "Ignore Polygon Selection" is NOT selected, only selected polygons are cut. Other un-selected polygons will not changed.
c. This cut object along with 3 faces (perpendicular to X, Y, Z) only, because of speed reason. Please use upper-middle part of dialog to select face.
d. When specify the cutting surface, you can select basic coodrinates from "World" or "Object". Please use top part of the dialog to select the coordinates.
See explanation movie.
3e. You can specify offset position of the cutting surface, by numeric input at "cut offset" field. Press "Return" or "Enter" to cut polygons. Also you can execute the plugin by "Knife" button below. Please use middle-bottom part of the dialog to input values.
f. Substitute for the value, you can use "formula" like as standard CINEMA 4D interface in the field. Additionaly you can continue to use the formula without fix(means keep formula, without converting it to a bvalur).
See explanation movie.
If you want to convert the formula to simple value, press "fix formula" button.
See explanation movie.
g. The NC_Knife can also select points by same interfaces as the knife. Please enter a value or formula into "select offset" field. Then press "Return" or "Enter" to select points. Also you can execute the plugin by "Select" button below. Please use bottom part of the dialog to input values.
h. Also you can specify a tolerance for the offset. The tolerance should be specified relatively, and please use "toler.(front)" and "toler.(back)" fields. At default, the values are both 0, so only points which are on just the offset value are selected. However, if "select offset" is 100 and "toler.(front)" is 40, all points which are from 60 to 100 along with specified axis will be selected.
i. After that, if you want to move the selected points by mouse, please switch to "Move" tool. Or if you want to shift the points keeping distances among the points, please add "+xx (xx is distance)" at end of position values in Coordinate Manager. Or if you want to move all the points to a specific position. please put "xx (xx is position)" into position fields in Coordinate Manager. And put 0 into size fields.
