help with last similar operation in stack

2.

Code: Select all

SetTransientReferencePlane();
var refMode = GetUserPref("3D_TRANSFO_REFERENTIAL_CHANGED")
if(refMode == 3)
	SetUserPref("3D_TRANSFO_REFERENTIAL_CHANGED", 19);//ref(3) + cog(16)
else
	SetUserPref("3D_TRANSFO_REFERENTIAL_CHANGED", 3);

3. So you wont SplitEdgeTool() to Split All Parallel Edges on left mouse button instead of middle?

[kowy]

2 . yeap, looks perfect
3. yes, as it will be set to mouse4/5, that's the intention

[Kolya]

This plugin will make SplitEdgeTool Split All Parallel Edges on LMB and Split Edge on MMB https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WbXcrh ... sp=sharing

[kowy]

u've swapped left and with middle, I was wondering why I could not find in commands !
Splendid ! Thanks !

is it possible with ice to make smt similar ? Caps for a curve, mb dublicate along curve - to have as istances
the way i do is with Set path

[Kolya]

Hi, to duplicate along curve there is Dupalong addon in the resources section

[kowy]

Dupalong error loading plugin
another question
insert polygons to keep borders (symmetric objects) if it's possible
this is not part of xsi so i guess is a c++ implementation ?!?!? May be is a way around

[Kolya]

1. Did you download 64 bit version of Dupalong?
2. Do you mean Inset Polygons? then the easiest way to do that would be by using bevel and changing center parameter

Code: Select all

if(Selection.Filter.Name == "Polygon"){
	var sel = selection.GetAsText();
	SelectFilter(siEdgeFilter);
	var oldEdgeSel = selection.GetAsText();
	SelectPolygonOutline(sel);
	var BorderEdges = SelectAllUsingFilter("Border_Edge", false, false);
	RemoveFromSelection(BorderEdges);
	var newEdgeSel = selection.GetAsText();
	SelectGeometryComponents(oldEdgeSel);
	SelectFilter(siPolygonFilter);
	var bevel = ApplyTopoOp("BevelComponent", newEdgeSel);
	for(i=0; i<bevel.Count; i++){
		bevel(i).Parameters("miter").Value = true;
	}
	InspectObj(bevel);
}

1. one of forums, anyway found blender's can do this job, wrote exports between softwares
2. thanks ! forgot about this future

& is there a way to setup hotkeys for move component - weld & slide ?

[Kolya]

1. Can you please explain it better, in more detail, because I'm not familiar with quickthickness plugin.
2. Keyboard Mapping > Group:Tweak Tool > Command:Slide Components and Weld Components

[kowy]

"Interactive thickness" add thickness to a plane opposite to normals (duplicate polys, invert, extrude along normals, merge together) - blenders solidify in 1 direction
quickthickness - addon found also on rray.de - same as "Interactive thickness" but in both directions, what i tend to do is solidfy* on positive direction of normals - revert to "Interactive thickness"

[Kolya]

So you want quickthickness to work as "Interactive thickness" but in opposite direction, without inverting normals when the thickness parameter goes negative?

thanks ! one note that earlier worked in both direction, now only in one
one question about U - polygons selection
select between 2 polygons not shortest but area (blender like) if it's such option, i know rcTOols, as it, searching for defaults

[kowy]

Hi, place .xsicompound into C:\Users\user_name\Autodesk\Softimage_version\Data\Compounds and restart Softimage

Code: Select all

var s = new ActiveXObject( "XSI.Collection" );
s.AddItems(Selection);

var c = Clone(s);
for(var i=0, sCount=s.Count; i<sCount; i++){
	var op = SIApplyICEOp("MirrorConstraint", c(i),  s(i));
}

Thanks one more time for script ! I have 2 minor problems
1. to export model i have to freeze transforms, when doing so - mirrored one change's vertex position in a weird way - only solution I found is to merge both together & separate
2. if i have Ngons & try to freeze both(original with mirror) will mess up vertex position & process doesn't apply any undo - only backup(or early saved) can restore the model - solution is to save before freezing
