Full Version: project first picked point down to cplane in ortho

Is there an option to project the first picked point down to the cplane if the point is picked in an ortho view? In other words, to disable the default behavior of having the first picked point be at the height of the top-most snap?

I keep getting tripped up when drawing curves in ortho views and having them not end up on a single plane.

Hi Peer, for a single pick you can do it by this script on a shortcut key:

script: var p = moi.ui.getActivePointPicker(); if ( p ) p.projectToCPlane = true;

There is also a persistent mode you can set.

For projection to the cplane in ortho views and not the 3D view:

script: moi.drawingAids.projectToCPlaneOrtho = !moi.drawingAids.projectToCPlaneOrtho;

For projection to the cplane in all views:

script: moi.drawingAids.projectToCPlaneAll = !moi.drawingAids.projectToCPlaneAll;

Those ones will persist through the current program session but not automatically between sessions.

Thank you Michael I really appreciate your fast and thorough reply!

I put it into a startup script for persistence across sessions.
