I will still try the shrink wrap but I got it anyhow so if shrinkwrap works it's just another method of doing this so I know :)

wouldn't a lattice work for this?

Hello Dan, I'll try shrinkwrap right away see if it does :) Christopher Monday, January 2, 2006, 10:01:05 AM, you wrot

Hi Christopher, look up shrinkwrap in the manuals.  This will give you what you're after.

Hello Bernard, no no say you have a clay ball now on that clay ball you want a area on it to be flat so if you lay the clay ball down you can cause it has a small area that is flat...that is what I mean Christopher Sunday, January 1, 2006, 10:22:28 PM, you wrote:

*All* polygons on primitives are flat, individually.       

     

But adjacent polygons do not form a flat surface. Hence the distinction.

If you're gonna get technical then "Polygons" is plural indicating that more than one poly is selected and on a sphere they (plural) are not flat ;) Imo, the only confusing part Christopher, is if you mean flaten to an axis? or flatten to the averaged normal? Either way, the only way is to do what Mario suggested. Sorry. On 1/1/06, Berna<3dbernard(at)gmail.com> wrote:           

I think what we want to know is if you mean *several adjacent* polygons. Polygons of created primitives are already flat. Bernard On 1/1/06, Christwalksfar(at)netscape.ca> wrote:               

Hello kim, what I mean is flat take a sphere and you want some polygons on the sphere to be perfectly flat. Sunday, January 1, 2006, 5:27:32 AM, you wrote:               

Define flat. Planar as opposed to twiste? Oriented in a particular direction? Scaled to an axis? Aligned to an axis????           Christopher, if you're going to ask questions here, you *have* to                   

frame your           

questions better, take more time to explain what you really mean.                       

You're           

creating bandwidth and not really getting answers in return for the                       

effort.

Anyone know if there is a way that I can have selected polygons and make them flat.  Instead of tweaking which won't get it perfectly flat on any X\Y\Z axis? Example: You have a sphere and some of those polygons you want flat on that sphere.  Hard edges just makes well the edges hard.
