Subdivide

Subdivide Mesh

Subdivide the original mesh faces (Quads and Triangles).

Original Mesh Subdivided Mesh

Steps

1. In the Mesh Tools console select a subdivision method by pressing the button.

2. Repeat pressing the selected method button to add subdivisions.

3. Toggle the face map option for subdividing a specific faces (optional). see using Face map for subdividing.

Note : The subdivision command is accumulative. Use the undo command (Ctrl+z) to cancel the last subdivision.

Options: Subdivision Methods

" X " - Split face from centroid to vertices. The resulted faces can pivot around the centroid point or follow the same direction.

" + " - Split face from centroid to edge mid points. The resulted faces can pivot around the centroid point or follow the same direction.

Note : Different subdivision methods can be integrated together.

"X" Subdivision Adding "+" Subdivision Adding "X" Subdivision Adding "+" Subdivision

Split Edge by Fixed Ratio - Results in a uniform splitting of the face edge according to a fixed ratio.

Set value in Command Line: "Subdivide Loop by Ratio:"

In this example ratio values set to: 0.2

Using Face Map for subdivision - Split Edge method can be integrated with the Assign All Quads option, as shown in the following images.

Steps

1. Select the 'Split Edge by Fix Ratio' subdivision from the Edit menu and set the value to 0.5

2. Select the 'Assign All Quads' option from the Edit menu.

3. Toggle the 'use face map option' from the Mesh Tools console.

4. Reselect the 'Split Edge by Fix Ratio' subdivision option to subdivide the selected quad only.

Split Edge by Proxy - Splits the edges based on Min and Max values set in the command line. The distribution derives from their face proximity to the target points.

Set values in Command Line: "Subdivide Loop by Proxy (Min, Max):"

In this example values set to: Min: 0.2, Max: 0.9

Split Face by Number - Splits the face to number of parts. Set values in Command Line: "Split Face to:"

Enter an integer number (bigger than 2) to set the number of parts the face will be split.

In this example values set to: 3

Split Face by Proxy - Splits the face to parts based on Min and Max values set in the command line. The value is relative to the face distance from the target points.

Set values in Command Line: "Split Face by Proxy (Min, Max):"

In this example values set to: Min: 2, Max: 6

Split Face by Map - Splits the faces based on the face map. The color scale represents values from 2-11 (Red - 2, Orange - 3, Yellow - 4, etc.).

Split Face by Random - Splits the faces randomly. The number of splits is set between the minimum and maximum values.

Set values in Command Line: "Subdivide Face by Random (Min, Max):"

In this example values set to: Min: 2, Max: 16

Split Face by Proportions - Splits the faces by proportions. The number of splits is set by the number of proportion values. The values represents the proportions between the parts. The values should be bigger than 1.

Set values in Command Line: "Subdivide Face by Proportions:"
