Help needed with 'cut' command

[MarkC-UK]

Evening folks. Another basic question, that has got me stumped:

When I use the cut command on an editable poly, is there a way of forcing the 'cut line' to be orthographic and in a straight line??

(i.e. similar to when you create a line, you can press shift to force straight lines)

As always, any help gratefully received:)

Someone...anyone....

you have to use the snaps toggle (the magnite) to cut in a straight line or you can use the slice command instead...hope that helps

Thanks for the response. I kind of thought that was how it might be done.

do no, only when creating lines and you hold down shift does it go along an axis for a straight line

 

i am trying to see if i can create a custome key to achieve this but no luck so-far

 

will come back to you

There is "Polar snaping mode" and "Ortho Snaping mode"

 

You may need to add the Polar snap icon to you snaps tool bar, which is easily done by customizing the tool bar. Mayas well add the Ortho snap as well, which will restrict the movment to 90 degrees.
