GUI Modification - pivots
I'd like to have the two dialogs, "Set Pivot to Location" and "Rotate At Pivot" which are normally free floating, added into the left hand menu area, as a separate section.
I'd also like the ability to populate the "Set Pivot to Location", XYZ, with the current selection. So the route would be select the vertices of the pivot point, click the ">" button to populate the "Set Pivot to Location" values, thus setting the pivot point. Then use the "Rotate At Pivot" dialog to rotate the item as required. This way I can improve productivity on animation code. At the moment, you have to cut and paste the three values, as well as above.

Re: GUI Modification - pivots
That is an *excellent* suggestion, especially in light of all that dead space to the left.

Re: GUI Modification - pivots
Should be OK - are they from scripts or plugins?

Re: GUI Modification - pivots
Set pivot is a script, and I think the other a plugin.
I assume you have some magic to make this happen, including the populate button?

Re: GUI Modification - pivots
here is a replacement tcl file for the rotate plugin.
You could put this in the scripts folder (where it works fine if you have the plugin loaded) but it should probably replace the one you have in the plugin folder (I've not tested it there but it should work) |
