Full Version: Axis lock

Show messages: All  1-3  4-7

Hi Barry, try setting these scripts up on shortcut keys for the X, Y, Z keys:

script: /* Snap to x direction */ var pp = moi.ui.getActivePointPicker(); if ( pp && pp.basePt ) { pp.restrictToLinePtDir( pp.basePt, moi.vectorMath.createPoint(1,0,0), true ); }

script: /* Snap to y direction */ var pp = moi.ui.getActivePointPicker(); if ( pp && pp.basePt ) { pp.restrictToLinePtDir( pp.basePt, moi.vectorMath.createPoint(0,1,0), true ); }

script: /* Snap to z direction */ var pp = moi.ui.getActivePointPicker(); if ( pp && pp.basePt ) { pp.restrictToLinePtDir( pp.basePt, moi.vectorMath.createPoint(0,0,1), true ); }

Hi Michael,
I have been using the axis lock scripts and works fine but found this error report ( see photo) when selecting the move command and pressing an axis key without selecting a base point or bounding box. Would it be possible to have a prompt box reminding to pick base point rather than an error ?
Having the ability to lock axis when moving objects in the 3D view is a good feature and perhaps may become a standard part of Moi.

Again many thanks

Barry

Hi Barry,

That's actually a bug in the point picker script interface. The JavaScriptCore engine doesn't like it if a property value of 'undefined' is returned if we've told it a particular property name exists, it needs to return null instead.

I've got it fixed up so the next v4 beta shouldn't show that error anymore.
