Hi.
Is it possible in Blender somehow add vertices, or add cuts, after circle was made?

This is what i ment:

Yes, that’s possible. First, select all loops and rings, like here:

Then press Ctrl+E → Subdivide Edge-Ring. You’ll have to play around with the Smoothness setting (probably values between 0.6 and 0.8) to get it right. If you use Blender 2.8, the setting is in the lower left corner of your 3D viewport. If you use 2.79, it’s either at the T menu’s bottom or can be opened by pressing F6.

Thanks for reply.
Very useful function, but how reduce vertices? From circle of 32 vertices to 16 vertices.

  1. Select two parallel edges, but keep one unselected edge between them
  2. Press and hold Ctrl Shift Numpad+ until half of all edges are selected
  3. Convert your selection to loops by clicking on Select - Select Loops - Edge Loops (Blender 2.8) or press Ctrl E → Edge Loops (Blender 2.79)
  4. Press Ctrl X to dissolve the selected loops

Damn. It was so obvious. Sorry for so stupid questions. Thanks again for your time and answers.

No worries! I actually learned something new too, a couple of minutes ago I didn’t even know the Subdivide Edge-Ring function existed :slight_smile:
