Hotkeys for referances

[Talik]

Hello.
I want to make hotkeys for these selecting tools. Pick point/edge/polygon referance. Probably I will need to make a script button for it. When I use these tools there is in no code in script editor to make a script button.

Im no good in scripting so i cant write the script exactly, but you need a script that:
Enables pick session (stores selected object and selected point )

and then applies

SetTransientReferencePlane("selected object.selected point");

I am no good with scripting too, but these jscripts are working for me:

Code: Select all

var selectPoint = PickElement( "point", "Select point", "Select point" );
var point = selectPoint.Value("PickedElement");
SetTransientReferencePlane(point);

Code: Select all

var selectEdge = PickElement( "edge", "Select edge", "Select edge" );
var edge = selectEdge.Value("PickedElement");
SetTransientReferencePlane(edge);

Code: Select all

var selectPolygon = PickElement( "polygon", "Select polygon", "Select polygon" );
var polygon = selectPolygon.Value("PickedElement");
SetTransientReferencePlane(polygon);

Would be nice to set component manipulation mode to Ref via script as well. Maybe someone knows how to do it.

You can set Transform to Reference with:

Application.SetTransformRefMode(3)

This is the python script version.

Thank you guys! You're amasing!

How to pick these tools on screenshot? For easier use I need an ability to pick referance after selecting polygons/edges/points that I want to transform.

I found JScript version of this:

Code: Select all

SetUserPref("3D_TRANSFO_REFERENTIAL_CHANGED", 3);

Guys thanks for replies. I need exactly these buttons for purpose. The difference is that these buttons have a picker to pick point/edge/poly referance. I can select polies edges or points and set the transformation axes after. Very handy.
