QuickInsetAuthor: Piotrek Marczak
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

I wasn't knocking your tool by the way, I think it looks great. And having additional tools available to choose from is a great thing.

it will! ;)

having bevel, extrude and inset in single tool is quite logical.
but adding some more feature, more key combinations will also make tool more confusing.

Now I'm Max user for 10 years now but I prefer modeling in XSI ALOT.
The only thing xsi lacks of is more tools that fit xsis genius workflow :)

I will wait with releasing final version of my tool, hoping SAP will include source code for new split edge tool.

You need to add text opengl32.lib in project->(projectname) properities->configuration properties->linker->additional dependencies

How does the bevel work. I'm using it with the 2012 SP1 on x64 and I cannot get the Bevel to work what are the keys?

There is no "bevel" in current build.
Only Origin can use it, for now.

Boo this man! :-o

Just kidding. I can't wait to see this. I hope it gets released quick after SAP comes out.

this is not true, i believe its half and half. thickness and cap hole are ICE modeling. smooth edge loop and extrude along normal are traditional operators.

scrap through, he did mention that all the new modeling tools are in ICE, he opened a few operator aswell.
@~13:00
notice it didn't change when he selected the extrude along normal op and refreshed the tree? cause its a traditional operator, same goes for the add smooth edge loop.

regardless these operators can still be driven from a custom tool sdk, parameters are still parameters regardless if they are in ICE or C++ property pages.

Great stuff as always, piotrek. :ymapplause:

Don't know if this has been discussed already, but would it be possible to implement some of the advanced selection characteristics into the tool? For example, edge loop selection on double click and shortest path selection. That would useful when beveling the edges interactively. Right now it seems you can only select the edge one by one...

yep you can only select subcomponents one by one.
I was thinking about adding those,
but then again if you work with tool in sticky mode, you can always turn on selection tools in supra mode to select some stuff.

Oh, I see. That'll work!

Hopefully you receive enough requests to eventually implement it (for the sake of convenience), but the tool is an immense improvement for the workflow as it is, nonetheless. Thanks
