To restrict a point pick on a surface normal you would need both the point on the surface and also the surface normal.

Then on the pointpicker, there's a restrictToLinePtDir( pt, dir ) function you can call.

If you select 2 separate curves it will do a fillet between those curves, that's to support AutoCAD style fillets.

Sorry I'm not understanding this part.

O hayo !
obj wishes
subd -> from zbrush all models are very small scale, moi can't do operations at such small sizes, will be nice to have an import scale -> there's only for export, not import (default)
import obj -> is relocating the object as rescales it

why is so ?

Hi Tudor,

re:
> import obj -> is relocating the object as rescales it

The ImportOBJ plug-in automatically resizes objects when it imports them, this can be disabled by passing in an additional parameter, see here:

Hi Tudor,

re: why is so ?

The point that your mouse picks is done by an intersection between the screen ray and the construction plane. In the 3D view if you are looking at the construction plane at an steep angle it is pretty easy to have a point far off towards the horizon with only a small movement in screen space:

i'm trying also via move
pointpicker.restrictToPlane( moi.ui.getActiveViewport().targetFrame , true );
am I doing smt wrong ?
same result
I want a screen move*

Hi Tudor, one method you can use for that is the script here which sets the construction plane to the view frame:

Can you post the full script?

*about history, I dont have enough time to go deep into it, I thought will be welcome some kind of history - *Notes
*smallest fillets i'll work on it more, found some scripts and posts on v4 version that might help - curve explorer and ordered curves
*point position - yes, x,y,z somewhere in moi explorer without scripting
*about normals - seems smt new to v4, like it, when offsetting u getting notification of a normal plane to extrude ~ it's the same as perpendicular to a point, normals for me sounds more familiar - was searching for that terminology

some more that i'm interested
moi htlm functions if there's a collection of them - aka moi:options; moi:text; moi:Numeric .. so on

ctrl clone -> to pick last duplicate todo modifications - as an option ? often it comes that i have to change position/size so on
there's a script
script:var a = moi.command.lastCommandRevisionStart; var b = moi.command.lastCommandRevisionEnd; var objects = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objects.length; ++i ) { var obj = objects.item(i); if ( obj.databaseRevision> a && obj.databaseRevision <= b ) obj.selected = true; }
I dont understand it - doesn't respond to ctrl clone/dublicate as well - only to scripts ?

~ buggy
alt + right click - shouldn't repeat last command -> It's supposed to be zoom

and Thanks !

Hi Tudor, sorry it's hard for me to follow what parts you are just describing and what parts you are asking questions about.

re:

> move + a

It seems to be working ok over here - I push a when picking the target point and it then tracks along the view plane. Can you tell me what steps you are using where you're seeing a problem?


> moi htlm functions if there's a collection of them - aka moi:options; moi:text; moi:Numeric .. so on

There isn't any documentation for these currently, sorry. But if you have questions about a particular one I can tell you about it. For <moi:option> that's like a regular HTML <option> except it gets the inner text to display by a textid="" value that is looked up from the current language's string table.

<moi:Text> is like a <span> tag but it fills in its text by the given textid="" value looked up from the current language's string table.

<moi:NumericInput> is similar to an HTML <input> but for numeric values.

Hmm, yes it's because object dragging doesn't run as a regular command does and so it's missing some of the setup/cleanup type things that happen with regular commands. I'll see about fixing this.


> ~ buggy

Any right click will repeat the last command, (or push the "Done" button if that is visible), it's only an Alt + Right drag that does a zoom, not a click without dragging.

O hayo !
used same script
I'll give a preview as file
It should act like viewport cplane

Hi Tudor, and when are you pushing the 'a' key to trigger your restrict to the view plane? Your code only handles it for the second point pick.

- Michael

thanks ! I was missing ordering !

I know in config it's possible to turn project orto, is it possible to script toogle without restarting ?

Hi Tudor, do you mean this setting in moi.ini ? :

ProjectOsnapsInOrthoViews=y

That property can be set by script at runtime at moi.drawingAids.objectSnapProjectInOrthoViews so to toggle it try this:

moi.drawingAids.objectSnapProjectInOrthoViews = !moi.drawingAids.objectSnapProjectInOrthoViews;

- Michael

DisableOnSrfInOrtho

Hi Tudor, the runtime script property for that one is moi.drawingAids.disableOnSrfInOrtho

- Michael

Thanks !
script: /* SurfaceInOrtho */ moi.drawingAids.disableOnSrfInOrtho = !moi.drawingAids.disableOnSrfInOrtho
