Sorry seems it was a glitch when many decimals are input...

the exact value in the diagonal that input was 9.7832259
normally when you input var min = 9.7832259, max = 9.7832259 that should work but here you must input
var min = 9.7832259, max = 9.7832260
Michael will explain what...it's out my old understanding!

Don't select anything
Press Tab or make a shortcut and write the following line

Press Enter
You must have your 2 diagonals selected!
script: /* Select by length */ var min = 9.7832259, max = 9.7832260; var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getCurves(); for ( var i = 0; i < crvs.length; ++i ) { var crv = crvs.item(i); var len = crv.getLength(); if ( len>= min && len <= max ) { crv.selected = true; } }

I have just entered 2 diagonals....so only 2 diagonals will be selected!


with Vclone by maxSmirnov you can replace a "vector" by anything! :)
And each objects will take the same direction and size than the vector!

Hi PILOU,

Thank you for your explanations :)

But I don't get it! Why u keep talking about diagonals?

I need to put stitches along these edges. Why should I look for diagonals?

---

Because a diagonal will be considered like a vector by the Max Smirnov Vclone

Like this you will can replace anything you want by anything you want! :)

If you take the yellow edges how you will distinguish black faces and white face they have same length :)

but what is exactly your target ? Points for make what ?

the file that you give me has different surfaces sizes!

if You want make like the "photo"
with my method you have just to draw only 2 faces ( one black, on white)
Draw the vectors and launch the vClone (twice one for each color) ;)

Hi PILOU,

if you take a look at the attached photo you will see a soccer ball and close to it there is a curve and 7 ring like objects ( I call these stitches)
Do you know a method with which I could replace all the shared edges between pentagonal faces and hexagonal ones with those stitches?

Take a close look at the black pentagonal face I have already put some stitches along one of its edges as an example so you could see what I mean!

so many possibilities, Array files circular, vclone, Oriente Line/line (none) etc...
one method

orange tubes are stiches between Black & White faces
green tubes are stiches between white faces !

1 Black face top and 1 black face bottom
1 array circular from Top for 5 black faces, 1 array circular from bottom for 5 black faces

and only one circular for the last white faces with green tubes :)

---

Hi PILOU,

I did use array circular for creation of my soccer ball with stitches, but I would like to learn new (and possibly quicker methods) like vclone, Oriente Line/line (none) etc...

So, I'll check them and come back to you if i faced a problem.

:-)

Hello all, I would like to know your opinion.

Would it be a good idea to have such a thing in MOI?



Edit: I think this way users could save short keys and they could have access to a wider range of commands/scripts/plugins.

---

Hi Psygorn, I think that's probably something that I can set up as part of making multiple shortcut keys in sequence work in the future.

Edit Frame behavior request:

Clicking on an Edit Frame handle toggles the round marker to let me know if I'm about to scale from the object's center, or from one side.

To get accurate mouse movements and see the object close up, I often zoom in to a level where the marker is off screen. I know I should look first to see what mode I'm in, but forget most the time.

Is it possible to add some kind of handle indicator, or handle color change, or handle line thickness change to show if I'm about to scale from the side rather than the center when zoomed in?

Hi Ed,

Nothing really pops into mind for a color or thickness that would convey a meaning of "scale from center" vs "scale from corner".

Do you have any ideas on what that might look like?

- Michael

---

Maybe if it's set to center....

The rotation tool of the Edit Frame is not very visible in numerous situations!

---

Dan & Michael - That's exactly what I was thinking. Just a little dot to indicated you're in Centered mode for those instances when you select an object, quickly zoom in, then think, "What mode am I in?"

Ed Ferguson

---

Hi Dan, I'm not sure about that, the dot doesn't really indicate "centering" very much. Maybe though.

- Michael

---

Something like this? But without the text.

A take on Ed's suggestion

I've tried to let these sink in for a bit but they're still seeming kind of weird.

Hi,

It would be nice to have 2d blend that would work on any part of the curve instead of just the endpoints.
An option to trim at that point would be interesting also.

Also, a function to directly cut a line at a certain point, in one click would be nice.
