    Hello,

    Is it possible to add the feature to delete edge loop like on my screenshots. I did 3 screenshots of the same loop. If I press Backspace - nothing happens.

    Probuilder 4.3.1

    ProBuilder doesn't have the option to delete edges yet. At the moment you can either collapse those vertices to their nearest edges, or use merge faces to remove the edges.

    Thanks. This is just a feature request. All modelers can do this simple thing.

    That's the problem of UT buying stuff, no more new features after they buy it. Same thing happened to nGUI (they kinda bought it) and TMP.

    Continuing the bump tradition in October 2022...
    I stumbled into this thread when looking for how to delete a loop. I thought it was me being blind!

    Bumping time! While I'm at it might as well throw the suggestion of adding the shortcut on the buttons too.

    Man unity feels like a "do it yourself" engine, we're always stuck waiting years for stuff to get/added fixed until someone comes up with a alternative

    Yeah... 3 years, that makes no sense, if UT wouldn't have bought ProBuilder I think it would already have a lot of new features at this point.

    The Unity cycle of acquiring an asset and letting it die there. Looking at you too TMP with the old SDF technique that leaves much to be desired and the lack of marker going under the text instead of over.

    I'm confused! In my probuilder I can't see any options to delete edges! Do I have to download some other probuilder extension from the store? I'm new to Unity!

    Bumping this thread to say that while you can delete the edges with the sample, it doesn't remove the vertices themselves (from my own testing at least) so it's not as useful as it appears initially.

    Hmm, but you can remove vertices by selecting and pressing delete, problem is do you always want to delete the vertices? is there a time when you would, time when you wont?
