Hey man how do you get those straight shapes and edges lines etc? When I use crease/pinch its crooked & half the time even if it comes out right then the surrounding areas are basically out of whack and ruined. I try to use the flat tool but get the same results i was wondering if its maybe a setting or something? Learning the tools wasn’t bad but the settings is all together a different beast imo. ---

Hello, I use the “Trim” tool to cut pieces with rectangular shapes, also other shapes with “voxel merge” ---

I’m having a “problem” that I can’t solve. Every time I open a new primitive cube, by default it comes out with 1.50 million polygons. What have I touched so that the cubes always open with this size? (with the other primitives this does not happen)🤔 ---

I have already done it I have touched all the parameters and it keeps happening … ![IMG_0597](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/f/fda997df19c5126556935c5f6d28078a794be0fa.jpeg) ![IMG_0598](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/d/d5304cb4cf5b92d7b20d0b508133e427c99089d9.jpeg) No matter how much you modify the parameters return to the same state. ![Imported_Image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/1/1fb68bcea5beee5d27a74374fd97c6be4ed2279b.jpeg) ![IMG_0599-1](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/6/6550d94995266734709dac87ec280f4fc2a45e16.jpeg) when I open a primitive cube with the option “only” activated there is no problem, the problem is when I do it with the option “only” deactivated ---

You can make a video because I don’t understand. (Or else I need a exact step-by-step way to replicate the issue, for now I can’t repro the bug) ---

When I open a cube it appears directly with 1.50 million polygons but if I hit ‘undo’ it returns to 6k polygons. If I open it with the ‘only’ mode activated it appears with 6k polygons. you have to look at the stats [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jsp7d0blszm0iw5/rpreplay\_final1628974099.mp4?dl=0](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jsp7d0blszm0iw5/rpreplay_final1628974099.mp4?dl=0) ---

The numerical changes of topological grid options are mainly based on 2. Can we use 1 as the main one? For example, I want to choose 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50, so that the following 0 can change from 0 to 9. Because sometimes I need to choose singular grid to calculate the number of faces of the model for low polymer molding.
