Modelling Pipes with the Wedge Tool in Maya

[@cg5469]

If you have any issues with Selecting (Pressing Tab to "paint" the bottom) then selecting the 2nd object first go to Modeling Toolkit, Multi-Component right under select Edge (should be the middle box) make sure that is the only one selected and then HOLD Ctrl & Shift at the same time then you can select the two edges mentioned on the second cylinder.

Keep these short and sweet videos coming

[@JoshAntonio]

Sure thing! Glad you like them 👍

[@doomgb4994]

probably the most clever way to create pipes that i've seen, super quick and precise!

[@sergie2822]

Amazing , thank you! Didn't realize you can use another object as a reference for the wedge tool!

[@milankullu3788]

Man took a good time to figure it out. I was frustrated why am i not able to select faces and edge at the same time. Guys if you are in 2019 you have to combine two objects first may be its different in 2020 vers. Anyway thanks man for this TIP.

[@JoshAntonio]

You should be able to make selections without the need to combine by setting both objects to the selection mode "Multi"

[@milankullu3788]

@@JoshAntonio yeah man I tried. I was in doubt May be because you are in 2020 version. Will try again and let you know.

[@kokoaharu121295]

I couldn't select both of them just with multi either

Hello from 2024! The video is still relevant today! Thank you!

[@matthewowers9038]

Great video really helped me make a pipe quick n easy!! :)

[@JoshAntonio]

Glad it helped!

Love your channel 👍 these tips have helped me a lot on my projects thank you 🙏🏼

[@JoshAntonio]

Happy to help, glad you like the content!

[@weeliano]

Excellent! Just what I was looking for. This is good for creating consistent volume pipe structures like the Bauhaus chairs.

[@JoshAntonio]

I might make a Bauhaus chair, using this technique... Glad it was helpful!

[@jssshd]

Great method! Thank you so much!

[@MrShroombot]

Very simple after some practice. Thank you.

[@michelleknobloch7732]

super helpful, thanks!

[@kidehoward93]

nice! is this method viable with lower poly cylinders as well?

[@JoshAntonio]

Yeah this would work on low-poly cylinders too

[@joaoxaviervasquesperellob-9604]

you are a boss, thank you

[@roswarmth]

damn it's so good

[@antoniola4815]

sweet sauce!!

[@lucaberg8789]

dont know if you are still replying. if i select both and use the multi tool while holding tab to select the faces on the bottom of the cylinder - its only lets me selects the edges. also while i select the edges using the multi tool the guide cylinder is deselected. i cant wedge

[@lucaberg8789]

ok i found out how to select the faces using the multi tool, my bad :D. but still, i cant select the guide cylinder after selecting components on the main cylinder (and the other way around its the same issue of course)

[@JoshAntonio]

Hey, it’s a little tricky to do. But once you’ve made your first selection, without clicking off or doing anything, on the guide cylinder you can hold down the right mouse button and select the component type to want to select. Holding shift you should be able to add that to the existing selection. I hope this helps!

[@kanishkgaur6151]

what if we use sweep mesh tool create>7.sweep mesh

[@abhinavsrivastav8767]

how you were selecting those edges so quickly before do bevel......??

[@jcdenton23]

Double click

[@icarosh1]

Thanks for the vid. Quick question, what's the shortcut to round select all of the faces while in multi tool ?

[@JoshAntonio]

For smooth preview, you can toggle with the 1 & 3 keys

[@abhinavsrivastav8767]

it was working just by clicking Tab

[@abhinavsrivastav8767]

@@JoshAntonio no he is asking for that Tab shortcut

[@rahulmajumdar551]

Just hold Tab and select faces

[@javohirparpiyev]

☝👍👍👍👍

[@paranormalgamesstudios]

Doesn't work for me the wedge doesn't follow the guide cylinder.

[@paranormalgamesstudios]

Nevermind I see what you did you selected 2 edges either side to make pivot selection the center of the guide cylinder. Cheers good work!

[@RocketSpecialist]

where is the wedge tool???

[@lugerginyu]

Why not just use the bens tool??

[@anthonymartelli6091]

Its way easier to make pipes in 3D max!

[@citizencitizen3243]

You are talking about "two ages" when I see faces of one cylinder and faces on other cylinder. Sorry confusing to me and doesn't work on my Maya 15. I try and try 100 times . something I am missing. but what? To fast for my observing eye and brain. I quit. Thanks
