Thank you so much, Michael - you're spoiling me with all of these quick fixes! :-D

I'll add in your changes pronto!


Just now I was redoing my model by resizing it a bit differently but I copied those docking cushions from my previous model to the new one since they are the same.


I was trying to drag them up against the side of the hull as they were in the previous model but I was having a problem constraining the movement strictly horizontal (X axis) - it kept moving up and down vertically.

I then realized that I like to set my straight snap angle to a low value (15). By upping that back to 30 or 45, It wasn't overly sensitive and I was able to drag the piece into position easily.


So also being a snap related value, if you can squeeze in the Snap Angle, that along with the grid and snap values should be all grid related nirvana that one would need in that menu while modeling...


Your call of course!

Hi Will,

Re: Snap angle - that is normally grouped with a different
set of stuff than the Grid options, so I don't think that it
would really go there by default.

But I've attached here a custom version that you can use which
has it added on that grid menu.


You can also set up some shortcut keys to switch the straight
snap angle to different values:

Set straight snap to 15 degrees:

script:moi.drawingAids.straightSnapAngle = 15;

Set straight snap to 45 degrees:

script:moi.drawingAids.straightSnapAngle = 45;

If you put those as the Command part on a keyboard shortcut, that
will let you switch to a specific angle with a keypress.

Also here is another variant that you can put on a single key which will
switch it back and forth between 15 or 45 every time you hit that same key:

script:if ( moi.drawingAids.straightSnapAngle == 15 ) moi.drawingAids.straightSnapAngle = 45; else moi.drawingAids.straightSnapAngle = 15;

If you want to switch it frequently probably those keyboard shortcuts
will be better than the menu anyway.

Okay Michael, thanks - I'll give the scripts a try. ;-)

PS - Thanks for everything with this - it's made using MOI much more nicer for me!
