Halo Michael, hi all,

These scripts are very useful,
>script:moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D').rotate( 'down', VALUE );
>script:moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D').rotate( 'up', VALUE );
>script:moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D').rotate( 'right', VALUE );
>script:moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D').rotate( 'left', VALUE );

One could insert window, which indicates the current position. (if script actively, angle horizontal, angle vertically) ?????

Hi Eddi, I'll see if I can set something up for this.

Hi Eddi, I have added this for the next beta. Under Options / View, there is a new button that will bring up a dialog that lets you set the exact angles for the view direction for the 3D view.



Up/down angle controls the vertical angle, 0 is at the top looking straight down.

Left/right angle controls horizontal angle, 0 is looking straight forward, 90 is looking from the right, etc..

Tilt controls twisting to the left or right along the current view direction.

This also has exposed some new script properties for a viewport that make it possible to set specific view angles by a shortcut key, for example:

script:var v = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); v.leftRightAngle = 45; v.upDownAngle = 90; v.tiltAngle = 0;

Have you also some spherical wiew possibilities in your treasure chest? :)

Hi Pilou, I think you were asking about this view angle thing before as well?

re: spherical view - the "up down" and "left right" angles in that new dialog are the same thing as a vertical and horizontal angle in a spherical coordinate system.

Is there something else that you're looking for other than that?

- Michael

Something like that :)

Suuuuper, looks good

Hi Pilou, That one isn't so easy, I won't be able to do anything like that very soon...

Maybe in the meantime if you bend your monitor around? :)

Hi Michael,

When no objects are visible, the Reset button in the 3D viewport could reset view in accordance with the setting in a new dialog you mentioned above instead of reseting into hard-coded initial position. How do you feel about it?

Hi Petr, under the current setup that won't work because that dialog is not static - when you open it up the values in it will reflect the current 3D view orientation, not just the last values that were entered there.

In fact, you can rotate your view around when the dialog is showing and the values will dynamically update to the current view orientation.

So the dialog itself does not maintain some different setting from the view, it's more of a reflection of the view so you can both see and edit the view angles there...
