Cplane problem/request

Hi Kevin, actually here is the script:

script:var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); if ( vp.projection == 'Parallel' ) { vp.projection = 'Perspective'; vp.setAngles( 65, 25, 0 ); } else { vp.projection = 'Parallel'; vp.setAngles( 0, 0, 0 ); }


Set that up on a shortcut key by going to Options / Shortcut keys, and add in a new entry. Put in whatever you want for the key, and paste in the above for the Command part.

Then when you hit that key, the 3D view will change to become the same view as the world "Top" view, regardless of what kind of CPlane you have. So if you have an angled CPlane you can then draw on the angled plane there while still having the world top view of the scene like I think you want.

Then when you are done, hit the same key again and the 3D view will flip back to the regular perspective view.

I think that will get the job done for you right now.

But I will take a look at seeing if I can add a script method to let the Top view's grid get angled to become non-plan, that would probably be easier.
