QuickPrimitive v0.93
Updated September 2012 to support light primitives, new preference options. Following
the popular QuickInset modeling tool (listed below), Pitorek releases this new custom tool, allowing the
user to draw primitives interactively.
This can be done using a number of preset objects (pickable from a radial array), and using a variety of placement/creation options such as on on surface/on scene grid, along curve, align along X/Y/Z axis, create UV projections, snapping, merge etc.
A video introduction is available here. See the si-community thread linked below for more details.

Re: quickPrimitive
So, just to make sure, more manageable numbers are out of the question? Ideally, length of whatever is needed to fill the volume and than scaling adjusted slightly.
Or at least the length of 1: (on the right is what is currently produced)

Re: quickPrimitive
Ha, brilliant !! Thanks for the update. Especially the Wacom fix is appreciated.
Re: quickPrimitive
Cool auto UV's
Thanks for the wacom fix !

Re: quickPrimitive
hi, I will update plugin within 2 weeks with two little things, keeping a box scale at 1 and 2) preference for default tool work scope. Anybody got any request let me know.
Also anyone found tool useful? Im thinking about adding light creation code to it.

Re: quickPrimitive
Just an idea, auto add nulls to group would be cool. Having that group in a get data node you could do all sort of things dynamically in ICE.

Re: quickPrimitive
Yes indeed, it is quite useful. One suggestion might be with snapping. Now, when I make a cube with grid snapping turned on, the first 2 dimensions snap fine but the third does not. I don't know if this is fixable or not but it would be nice.origin wrote:Also anyone found tool useful?
Sometimes it's nice to be able to create primitives by dragging corner to corner rather than center out. Not sure if that's a major undertaking or not.
Thanks for the great tool!
Cheers!

no problem. But where to put such option, in preferences?rray wrote:Just an idea, auto add nulls to group would be cool. Having that group in a get data node you could do all sort of things dynamically in ICE.

right now corner to corner is available in box and grid only (hold shift before creating prim)
Re: quickPrimitive
Oh, didn't even notice that! That's the ones I wanted anyway so don't worry about that request. I'll check snapping some more, maybe it's something I'm doing wrong.origin wrote:hi, ill check snapping but afaik it was working okay hereActionArt wrote:Yes indeed, it is quite useful.

Re: quickPrimitive
Tricky one )) Doesn't fit anywhere else so I would say yes.. Ask for a default name for the group in prefs and then maybe with an additional "group" viewport button you could toggle grouping on or off for created objects.origin wrote:no problem.

Re: quickPrimitive
OK!
Got another idea, but not sure if it work. I know commands can return data but I dont know how to do it so,
how about when tool exits, it sets global data, a comma separated string of names of created primitives, so with scripting you could do whatever you want with those objects.

Re: quickPrimitive
Right now, if I have grid snapping on, go to make a cube, draw in the top view, it snaps fine to x and z but when I use the right button to do the z direction, it snaps but a bit short. The size in the z direction reads 99 instead of 100.
Something is just a bit off on the snap.

Re: quickPrimitive
Hi Piotrek,
two suggestions/requests:
- a 'snap to center of element' button. For placing stuff exactly on center of polys or midway between two verts.
- tooltips, similar to your other plugins, and the lower bar with a short mouseclick explanation.
thanks, Jasper

Re: quickPrimitive
Hi Piotrek,
I love this little tool, but have a small question.
Is there a way to have the cube length set to 1, instead of 0,01 and have silly scale numbers ;)
Or a preference to set this? I use 1 or 10 a lot for archviz.
thanks!
