Hello all, Michael,

Does MOI have any alternative to the Reset All command for recentering the view ? I am specifically looking for way to reframe the current view according to the currently selected object, but without the "zoom to fit" effect that Reset All does. Like so :



Being able to frame like so (without zooming) would add a lot of stability to interactions in the 3D viewport, and would also benefit work done in a 2D view. The way things are currently means that the user needs to always un-zoom after each Reset All, which can get quite tiring very fast.

(Note that since I am using a heavily customized UI there is a possibility that I am missing some obvious button doing exactly what I am after.)

Thanks !

The next script will help you.

MoveTargetToObjectsV2 – Rhino-like command; moves a viewport target's position to the center of the bounding box of selected objects.

Alt+Q script:var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects(); if ( objs.length > 0 ) { moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D').targetPt = objs.getBoundingBox().center; }

Or also the one from here:

Hello both ! Well, that's perfect (and so much more relaxing than having to unzoom each time !). Thanks :)
I see that the code for the two versions is very similar. Is one more robust than the other ?

Also, I think this would be great to have by default, as a button. I feel like people might very much enjoy this even though it may not feel like an obvious necessity at first. As a matter of fact I've used MOI for years now with feeling like it was a dealbreaker not to have this ; but because of the specific thing I was working on yesterday (involving some tricky inspection of parts and dimensions) it really became obvious how disorienting the frame+zoom was.

Hi pior,

re:

One version operates only on the 3D viewport, the other one operates on the active view including if it's an ortho view.

Excellent, thanks makes sense. Thanks !
