Hi all,

Someone knows how to do an explode function but in two axes?
French pilou already give me the shortcut to do an explode move ( thank Pilou ;) )
but is there a way to explode in two axes to get a look like good explode axonometric view?

Thnaks

Menu Options / View/ View3D Projection Perspective /Parallel ?

By Michael
The viewing angle of the 3D view is possible to set by a script, so you could set up a keyboard shortcut that would set the view to a particular angle. You could have a few different keys set up to do some different presets if you want...

The way you do it is to go to Options / Shortcut keys, then add in a new one, for the key put in whatever key you want and for the command put in this:
code:

script:var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); vp.upDownAngle = 30.0; vp.leftRightAngle=60.0;


Set Isometric:
code:

script:var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); vp.projection = 'Parallel'; vp.setAngles( 90 - (Math.asin(Math.tan(30 * Math.PI/180)) * 180/Math.PI), 45 );


Set Dimetric:
code:

script:var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); vp.projection = 'Parallel'; var as13 = Math.asin(1/3); vp.setAngles( 90 - (Math.asin(Math.tan(as13)) * 180/Math.PI), as13 * 180/Math.PI );


Return to Perspective view:
code:

script:var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); vp.projection = 'Perspective';

Hi Alex, sorry there is not currently any way set up to run ExplodeMove only in 2 axis directions.

The things Pilou mentions above are for setting the projection of the 3D view to make it be an axonometric view directly, so you could then see your result in the regular 3D view rather than only just trying to arrange geometry in 2 dimensions only. Does that help do what you need?

Otherwise if you need to make some kind of exploded view and ExplodeMove is not sufficient, you would need to arrange the pieces yourself. You might also want to check out some other CAD programs like SpaceClaim or Alibre, they may have better functions for generating those kinds of views for you.

Thank you Mickael, I would like do an explode move but in two axis in same time, so I managed it object by object.
Thanks for your answer
