Hi Everyeyone, i'm really newbe with Xsi ( coming from me beloved lightwave modeler 
) and i'm wondering how to build poligons starting from point.
I try to explain.
I want to create the profile of an object ( for example a KEY ) but the only tool that seems to work ( bad..) for this is : Add/edit poligon tool.
the model i whant to build is this :
Any idea, maybe how to start or something... pleazzzze
Thx everybody
i would take a cube and modell the key step by step, extrude, subdivide and so on. with the add tool i wouldn't work, to inconvienent for this, i think. make the key with different objects, non one, e.g. cylinder for shaft... .
Bonjour,
In a similar fashion, what you can do is:
-create primitives that fit as close as possible your rotoscoped image,
-then create points with snap (to points) activated, place those points on the points of the primitives,
-when you're done, hide or delete the 3d templates (the primitives you created),
-create polygons between your points with the Add Polygon tool.
You can do this a little at a time, like creating a bunch of points and adding polygons, then creating another bunch of points, and so on.
Hope this helps
