I’m so happy you have added this feature. Thank you:handshake:t4:
The question is why did you choose to make the “Target faces Filter” fixed though all the target objects?
The case is what if I need to apply deferent operations - exclude for one target faces and include for another? In the meantime this is not doable.

Hi Samah, consider that whenever you select faces to be exluded, all the other faces will be included. Also, if you select some faces to be included, all other faces will be excluded. This means there is no third state possible, which ultimately means that there is no need to have both inclusion and exclusion lists.

My suggestion here is the following:

A. You need the attachment to happen only against a few faces of the target geometry. Select the faces, add them to the list, and set the list to include. Those few faces will be used, while all other faces will be excluded.

B. You need the attachment on mist of the faces, but some faces are causing you issues. Select the problematic faces, add them to the list, and set the list to exclude. Those few problematic faces will be ignored when creating attachments, while all the other faces will be used as included to project attachmebts.

I hope this gives a clearer idea of how the inclusion/exclusion list for target faces works.

Hi Marco,
Thanks for your explanation. This surly makes sense. But when I work with multiple targets this gets confusing. because for example, when I set the filter to exclude and set the face selection from target A, I won’t be able to set faces from target B to be included. I’m not sure I get this. Do you mean that in the case of target B I should inverse the selection ? I mean select all the faces of the target except for the faces I want to include then when the filter is set to exclude it will do what I need ?

Yes that is correct.
Imagine having two cubes (A and B) as targets.
If you want to exclude face 2 and 3 of cube A, and include only face 1 of cube B, then:

  • set the filter to include

  • add faces 1, 4, 5 and 6 for cube A

  • *add face 1 for cube B

    or

  • set the filter to exclude

  • add faces 2 and 3 for cube A

  • add faces 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 for cube B

I think you got it already, but I wanted to add more so it is even clearer.

Got it :handshake:t4: Thank you Marco.
