Default Re: little Slice Surface addon

acculy there is a way, but it requirs changing ac3ds tcl files,
so if you dont know what your doing, you prob shoulnt mess with it.
and i sugest you make a back up copy of the tcl folder just incase you mess up :wink:

but heres how:

.open ac3d.tcl, in the tcl folder, with notepad
.scroll down till you see this line: .mbar.vertex.menu add command -label "Insert vertex" -command "ac3d insert_vertex" -underline 0
NOTE: it should be about half way down the file along with all the other mbar lines.
.add -accelerator Ctrl+Shift+I to the end of that line

next...
.find the line: .mbar.vertex.menu add command -label "Slice surface" -command "ac3d surface_slice" -underline 0
NOTE: it should be two lines down from the one you just changed.
.add -accelerator Ctrl+Shift+L to the end.

next(IMPORTANT)...
.about 10 lines down, right under the line: bind . <Control-S> { ac3d createsurface }
create these two lines:

bind . <Control-I> { ac3d insert_vertex }
bind . <Control-L> { ac3d isurface_slice }

YOUR DONE! :wink:
now Ctrl+Shift+I will 'insert vertex'
and Ctrl+Shift+L will "Slice Surface'
it would be nice if ac3d had a 'hotkey wizard' or somthing, so we woulnt have to do this

i hope andy dosnt mind this, i dont know if he wants everyone changing his program
but since its just hotkeys
