Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX1080

Blender Version
Broken: 2.80, 4c31bed6b46, blender2.8, 2018-11-30, as found on the splash screen
Broken: 2.79, 5bd8ac9, Blender 2.79, 2017-09-11, as found on the splashscreen
Worked: ??

Short description of error
When having a mirror-modifier on an object and trying to arrange vertexes in a circle with "circle" from "looptools", it gives an error and doesn't make them into a circle.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on attached blend-file (its a 2.8 file, but same can be found in 2.79:

  • In the blend file you'll find a subdivided plane. It has a mirror modifier on it.
  • Activate "looptools" in addons.

Select Plane, go into Edit mode, press "w", go to "looptools" and press "Circle".

Error occurs!
(in Blender 2.79 it will not give an error but make a weird shape, not a circle)

To avoid the error i found that you can:

  • disable the "display modifier in viewport" of the mirror modifier - make the circle - enable it again.
  • remove mirrormodifier temporarly - make the circle - readding modifier again.

(only for 2.79) You can remove all the ticks for the axis-options in the modifier, then make the circle, add the right tick again.

You mirrored the plane on itself. That makes the mesh to have double vertices allover it.
If you go to edit mode, and remove half your plane, and THEN use the Circle Tool, it works fine.

A before and after comparison:

Hey Dalai,

Sorry to make that mistake!
I had a more complex object where i had the error. Then trying to recreate it in a simpler version i did make that mistake of mirroring on itself.
Sorry for your time! I'll take more care next bugreport.

Keep it up!

Best regards,

Mats
