QuickInset
Updated May 2013 (info) — Rewrite of the original QuickExtrude tool. This tool performs quick modo-like
interactive extrude, bevel and inset operations without showing a property page. Piotrek's
notes from the si-community thread: Extruding along normal is available only in 2012 SAP
for operations that relies on SI units you drag in component's normal direction,
for other ops (like point skirting ratio/bevel subdivisions) just drag across screen
subdivision highlighting is supported only for level 1 and only catmull-clark
J, L hotkeys change subdivision on extrude K hotkey is for repeating operation on highlighted component/subselection ENTER shows op PPG shift makes operations 10x slower
LMB is extruding, LMB and then RMB - changes inset ratio of extrusion MMB is beveling, , MMB and then RMB - changes bevel subdivisions RMB is insetting tool can also work in supra mode if you hotkey the tool
I've used it to model few production objects and it's pretty useful.
Developed with the interactive tool SDK. See Piotrek's video for a quick introduction

Re: quickinset
uploaded new video with point and edge working and spacebar as inset/skirting ratio mod while extruding
ramon: yes definitly

Re: quickinset
You are nailing it Piotrek! Really exciting stuff.
Love the purple highlight color.
Will you release the code with the tools?
Thanks.

Re: quickinset
cool tool
I'm still undecided if I'd prefere a big number of new tools that do a small number of things, or vice-versa xD

Re: quickinset
OK here's "release candidate", let me know if it's working for you, suggestions are welcome!
x64 only as .xsiaddon
menu modify->Quick Inset or run command pmQuickInset()
this help is displayed in status bar:
tab - switch between inset and extrude mode
hold SPACE when extruding to adjust inset (bevel)
hold SHIFT to do 0.1 increments when extruding/insetting
middle mouse button = repeat last op
enter - show last op PPG
Please do not learn from my c++ code...

Re: quickinset
thanks for sharing the code, i hope it encourages more programmers/TDs to develop using the new sdk.

Re: quickinset
can this be linked to a shortcut, it does not look like it?

Great tool Piotrek, thanks a bunch!
Maybe it's a tinny bit over sensitive to mouse movement?
suggestion - orient and outset tool

Re: quickinset
Source code is much appreciated, Thanks.
Btw, I think alone the fact being able to release such a SDK shows how good Softimage's internal architecture is.

Re: quickinset
Super nice!!
I think it would be important if the tool could be applied not only to one but to all selected polygons/points.
Best,
Eugen

Re: quickinset
thanks guys
Memag: I see it's oversensitive when insetting edges/points, or is for faces for you too?

I could do something like this...if there are some subcomponents selected when tool is executed, there will be no highlighting and tool will only work on these subcomponents.Eugen wrote:Super nice!!

Re: quickinset
No biggie Poitrek, just feels very sensitive all around.
I wouldn't want to ruin it for others by suggesting a bit milder control.
Thanks!

Re: quickinset
I will add sensitivity setting to custom preferences (when I found a way to do it...)
I got pre-selection working now (click & drag on selected subcomponents - extrude only these subcomp., click on other sub. - single subcomp. extrude), fixed sensitivity while insetting points/edges.
Anyway I'm thinking about switching TAB mode to extrude/bevel, since inset is just extrude with length=0 (you can have pure insetting when spacebar is pressed before click&drag while in extrude mode).

Why not put bevel on middle mouse button and repeat mode on TAB?
Can you bind left/right cursor movement to inset (or bevel) and up/down to extrude, and leave middle button to repeat?
Just tossing suggestions, sorry if it seems chaotic.
Thanks for the hard work origin!
