Align Hotkeys
w - top
s - bottom
a - left
d - right
q - Vertical Center
e - Horizontal Center

wanna improve the align script !
my question is how do i get pointpicker.basept(or value of pointpicker after alignment without clicking) when I'm pressing second hotkey ( let's say I've aligned top, now I need right side -> not to run script twice )

Hi Tudor, the current point for the pointpicker can be accessed using the .pt property on it.

There is also a .cplane property for getting the construction plane (the grid plane) for the pick, and also .ptframe for getting a coordinate frame with its origin at the current point and the frame's axes in the cplane directions.

is that if clicked?
anything without clicking ? cuz if I click something, scripts ends it's action
otherworlds I need current pointposition without click

if (!wasAnyHotkey) {
moi.command.setOption( 'AlignMode', 'VerticalLeft' );
factory.setInput( 2, 'VerticalLeft' );
factory.update();
wasAnyHotkey = true;
}
else {
//here i need help !
pointpicker.pt = pointpicker.ptframe.origin ;
factory.commit();
DoAlign();
}

Hi Tudor,

re:
> is that if clicked?

No, it's available anytime the pointpicker has been able to get a point, like with mousemove.


> cuz if I click something, scripts ends it's action

Yes, that's how the regular Align command is supposed to work. When you click a point a 'finished' event will be triggered, and this part of the script exits the even loop when it sees that;

	while ( 1 )
	{
		if ( !pointpicker.waitForEvent() )
			return;
			
>>>		if ( pointpicker.event == 'finished' )
>>>			break;
			

If you don't want the script to end when a point is clicked you would want to modify what it does with the 'finished' event, like ignore it.

Thanks Michael

o hayo !
v4 new future crv.evaluateCurvature
I'm thinking about script for edge loop up to ~ broken curvature on a brep (on curve will be a sharp corner)
if i'm extracting curves, how shall i transfer back to edges ?

Hi Tudor,

re:
> if i'm extracting curves, how shall i transfer back to edges ?

Sorry I'm not sure I understand this - you can call curve evaluate methods on an edge curve just like you can on a "standalone" curve.

One thing to be aware of is that a curvature break between 2 edge curves does not mean anything about the continuity of the surface at that point. For example:

Shortcuts for manipulation:
Fillet; Inset; Shell ; Offset(Brep)

Numpad+ -> value + value/2
Shift+Numpad+ -> value + value/10
Numpad- -> value - value /3
Shift+Numpad- -> value + value/10
Numpad* -> value*value
Numpad/ -> value/value

Scripting:
Added additional script interface for Curve and CurveSegment objects.
For both Curves and CurveSegments:

wasn't any mention about edges, will try !

About align - 3d viewport -> I think it should be aligned along camera position - not along axis

Hi Tudor,

re:
> wasn't any mention about edges, will try !

Edge curves and "standalone" curves have the same curve interface object.


> About align - 3d viewport -> I think it should be aligned along camera position - not along axis

Can you show an example of what you mean?

- Michael

Unified under one command Union and Join ~ they do they same, need more testing

based on camera angle what's left/right/top/bottom

Hi Tudor, that's an interesting idea. But what if your camera angle is right near a switchover spot? That would probably mean that you could get in a situation where you move the camera a slight amount and get a big shift in the result.

- Michael

yes, but at the current align i have to guess what button should i press
for static i could change to orto views !

Hi Tudor, you don't have to guess if you look at the x/y/z axis tripod display in the lower left corner:


- Michael

dont have them xD well, it was a suggestion(intuitively will be right and left - ! all we know what it means xD no x & y's - it was written right side ! why it haves weird xD ))

I'm in another propose script ~ isolate update
now - the way it works it now it isolates objects, next call unhides all
what i want - isolate to update on selected objects(ex: doing some operation on objects, isolate to work further), on deselect - call isolate - unhide all. for that i need a global variable ! as I've read scripts all variables are inside scripts (i'm still learning js)
benefits - hitting twice isolate to work further - not to much ~ clicking saving
