GATOR does not seem to want to transfer edge clusters. I'm
attempting to do shape animation ops or something else GATOR handles on edge
clusters, but so far no luck!
Even if it does work, it's going to be a tough sell for the desigers. :-)
Last
time I tried this, some time back, it was time consuming because you had to do
proximity tests on all points. These days, though, there must be some way
to use gator for this?

Roadkill and Edge Symmetry
So now that we're successfully
using Kim's Roadkill plugin, the
texturing artists are asking if
there is any way to get symmetry from an
edge selection. They want to be
able to spend their time selecting their
unwrap edges on one half of the
geometry, then get a symmetrical edge
selection for the other side,
then pipe it through the Roadkill plugin.
I tried storing an edge
selection into a cluster, then doing a duplicate
symmetry, but edge clusters are
not passed via merge operations. Unless
there is a tool somewhere or a
clever workaround I haven't found, this
may be something that needs to
be scripted.
