Hello Everybody,

I`m trying to buid a Lightwave like knife tool in Houdini.
( For those unfamiliar with it, it basically cuts polygons using one line in the orthos viewports)
So I though that maybe a digital asset would be a good idea. Something like line ->polyextrude -> cookie -> fuse .
Do you guys think that it is the way to do it ? If so, how can I detect the viewport I am in, in order to polyextrude my cutting line along the good axis ?

Thanks !

Julien

I never used Lightwave but from what I heard, the Clip SOP in Houdini does pretty much the same thing as the knife tool in LW.

Well … yes indeed that`s pretty much the same

thanks !
