Default Altering crease on multiple objects

I have a model with an array of 30+ objects, and the geometry and shading demanded that I change the crease angle for all objects from 45 down to 35.

It would be nice to have a menu/command where we could change the crease angle for all selected objects instead of going to the property editor for each one.

I ended up exporting the specific geometry, doing a search/replace on the "^crease " value in vim, and re-importing, but this is probably not the ideal solution...

Dennis.

Feel free to add to this and release it in the plugins forum section


Put this in crease.tcl, inside your scripts folder

Code:
proc send_crease { } {

	set obs [ac3d get_selected_objects]
	set quick_crease_angle [.c.e get]

	puts "setting $quick_crease_angle on $obs"
	foreach ob $obs {
		ac3d object_set_crease_angle $ob $quick_crease_angle	
	}

	ac3d redraw_all
}


toplevel .c
entry .c.e -textvariable quick_crease_angle

button .c.b -command send_crease -text "Set crease angle"
pack .c.e -side top -fill x
pack .c.b -side top

Perfect - I'll give this a try this evening and post it as a downloadable plugin as well.

Thanks!
