connect ring and straighten

EZ · #1 08-10-2011, 09:28 PM

connect ring and straighten is not straight and it all so messes up my other horizontal edges, another thing i can connect ring with the mesh facing front and get one a effect then turn it on the back side and connect ring and get a different effect, it all so remove polygons in different area's.

the straighten option like around the waist does not straighten if its looped then straighten
i would like mine to look like the left side of the image below

any luck on fixing this?

if the mesh is a more flat surface it seams to be more accurate but any mesh with a lot of curvature its not accurate, please fixs

following the contour shape with a lot of curvature can cause problems of the edges not being straight

connect ring creates an edge loop through the center of each selected edge, so if the edges are not perfectly aligned before, you won't get a straight line.
after connect or straighten, the vertices are projected back on the reference mesh, so this is another reason you don't obtain a straight line. If you would've tried to straighten some points on a planar surface, the result would be a pretty straight line.
