>>For Inset Function The parameters available are:

thickness=2
direction=Inwards / Outwards
expand=true / false
useseparateheight=true / false
height=4
grooved=true / false
groovewidth=0.2


PS I don't see the "expand" true / false inside the Inset Menu? (Beta 4.0)

and Must I write the "ShortCuts" in English ? (I suppose yes but for be sure :)

Hi Pilou,

re:

It will appear when Direction = Outwards is set.

Regular Inset (Direction = Inwards):



With Direction = Outwards:



With Direction = Outwards and Expand = true - makes a kind of "hat" on top:




Starting with this:



Here are 3 rounds of Direction = Outwards with Expand = true, then 3 with Direction = Outwards with Expand = false, selecting the top face each time:




With multiple face selected, makes a kind of "cladding":

Yes.

Can be a kind of "ziggurat-ifier" :

Simply fantastic, still breathless !
Congrats to this extraordinary development !!!

@ Michael

Damned ! You right! I did't retry the function for verify!
(Inward is more frequent ;)

I have used it many times but don't remember that! :)
(here Inward again)

Fantastic indeed. Michael, you wrote that this "control inizialization mechanism should work
with any command".
As it works very simply with a command like "Insert thickness=2" I tried it also with the Extrude
command by assigning "Extrude distance=2" to a shortcut key, but in this case it did not work
could you explain, please ?

Hi Tom,

The name that you need to use for the initialization is the control's id="" value in the .htm file which is not always exactly the same as the text label that is displayed in the UI.

So for Extrude if you open up Extrude.htm the input field for the distance looks like this:

<moi:DistanceInput id="distanceinput" ...

So that means you have to use "Extrude distanceinput=2" for it to work, not "Extrude distance=2".

I think in the future I'll introduce some additional alias values for this type of initialization, that way it could support other labels without breaking any scripts. The id value is also used in scripts that access the UI so it would introduce bugs if it was changed.

Ok now I understood how to do it the right way - thanks Michael !
