Hi Pior,

There is a collection of scripts used in buttons in the help file here:
http://moi3d.com/3.0/docs/moi_command_reference11.htm#shortcutkeys

And there are some other frequently requested ones collected here:

In the future I would like to make an online "script repository" that would hold a bunch of scripts listed in different categories and have a browser for them built into MoI but there will be a lot of work involved in making that so I'm not sure when it will be able to happen.

Yes, on a <moi:CommandButton> element instead of having a command="commandname" attribute instead put in an onclick="" event handler attribute which can contain general script code. So for the sketch repeat it would look like this:

<moi:CommandButton onclick="moi.ui.sidePane.RepeatCheckbox.value = true; moi.command.execCommand( 'SketchCurve' );">Button label</moi:CommandButton>

(Looks like you found that already...)

A couple of v4 betas back there were some new methods added to faces that allow scripts to retrieve information on the face so it is possible to do that. Here's a script that will set the cplane to a selected planar face:

script: /* Set cplane to selected face */ var faces = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getFaces(); if ( faces.length == 1 ) { var f = faces.item(0); if ( f.isPlanar ) { moi.view.setCPlane( f.planarFrame ); } }

Hope that helps!

Quasi automatic CPplane
This last one is some cool! :)

PS
CPlane's Script above...Not Undoable ?

Hi Pilou, you can right-click on the View > CPlane button to reset the cplane to the default world location. Or if you want to have it on a shortcut key put:

script: moi.view.resetCPlane();

Thx for the precision! ;)

Hi Pilou, or this variation will work as a toggle, if you use the same shortcut a second time it should reset it:

script: /* Set cplane to selected face or reset on second use */ var faces = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getFaces(); var was_set = false; if ( faces.length == 1 ) { var f = faces.item(0); var cp = moi.view.getCPlane(); var vm = moi.vectorMath; if ( f.isPlanar ) { var p = f.planarFrame; if ( !(vm.pointsAreEqual(p.origin,cp.origin) && vm.pointsAreEqual(p.xaxis,cp.xaxis) && vm.pointsAreEqual(p.yaxis,cp.yaxis)) ) { moi.view.setCPlane( p ); was_set = true; } } } if ( !was_set ) moi.view.resetCPlane();

Excellent! Added! :)

Ooh, I like this script !

Perfect!
