Moving single verts to a specific point?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I'm wanting to move some verts to 0 and i was wondering if there was anyway i can just tell it to go to 0 like you can with objects?

Select the vertices, open up the Component Editor (Window > General Editors), go to the Polygons tab, and you should see a list of the selected vertices along with their world space coordinates (vertex.x, vertex.y, vertex.z). From there, you can enter your desired coordinates for the vertices.

...or select vertices and type "move 0 0 0;" in the command line and hit enter.

Inspired by this thread I wrote a simple mel with UI called transformTypeIn. You can find it here: https://www.simplymaya.com/download_p...id=37&type=mel

Basically it just transforms (moves, rotates and scales) current selection based on typed in values.
