vertex separation

[grayman]

When manipulating vertices, how can you separate two vertices that occupy the same point?

 

Sometimes if you select the vertex point and move it, only one vertex moves. Sometimes both move, and it's a problem when manipulating patches.

 

Thanks.

Ive always woder this also, the only option Ive had thus far is ctrl-Z to undo what I just did so I can rethink my vert changes etc.

If you shift and single left click the point where the multiple control vertices are stacked it should only select one(tho knowing which one it will select is a bit random it seems). If you shift and drag select it will select them all. I was unable to get it to select all of them with a single click.

 

You can also manipulate control verts using the patch inspector tool (ctrl+S) and using the drop down menus for row and col... but that's a bit like hard work and only in case of a real problem

Another approach is to select the vertices you want in the 3D view then use Alt + Arrow keys to move them in the 2D view. But even in 3D view they may be on the same spot so I move one to one side, then the one I want a little way, then put back the first one where it was, then I can grab the one I really want!

Okay, thanks for the tips.
