CPlane Manager

Hello everybody.
I just created CPlane Manager. These scripts allow you to mange CPlanes in few clicks.

Tutor:



So to work effectively with CPlanes you need 3 commands:

1. CPlane_Create_Label
2. CPlane_Change
3. script: /* Restet Workplane */ moi.view.resetCPlane();


CPlane_Change is universal command it allows you to set CPLane picker not only for labels but also for objects, another words it works like ordinary CPlane Picker. So if you use Set CPlane command you can replace it with this one, and you will have the same functionality plus ability to work with labels.

***
Also use this script (Run it once at start) and it will allow you to draw only on CPlane with snapping on objects.
script: /* Toggle projecting snaps to CPlane in ortho views */ moi.drawingAids.projectToCPlaneOrtho = !moi.drawingAids.projectToCPlaneOrtho;

By default if you draw on CPlane and snapping to objects is enabled, thing you create will be lay on snapped object not on CPlane.
This script is very handy tool to keep all curves on CPlane.

1. CPlane_Create_Label
2. CPlane_Change

Does the 2 above can be Shortcuted with the same functions?

3. script: /* Restet Workplane */ moi.view.resetCPlane();
And the number 3 is the same than the native Reset CPlan ?

You have to make 2 shortcuts for these 2 commands.

Yes, I just put it here for people that are newbie and may not know about it.

Just updated a bit,
Now scripts work very fast and goes very smooth even on big projects.
Also I added command Unhide. Before if you hide some objects and wanted unhide them CPlane Labels will unhide too, but with this command all objects will be unhiden except CPlane Labels. So they will stay everytime hidden until you need them.

At 2.18 you load A CPlane Label from your Library

What must I do if I don't use this system of library?
Import an object ? But I have not the axes with it!
Use Transform/Orient Object ?
... I believe I miss something! :)

When You Reset CPlane by Menu, that don't erase the Cplanes Style!
Does this normal?

You can create it by hands, when I have no Custom UI Installed I created simple plans and use them as labels.
You can use for labels any object that you want it can be plane, box or even sphere :)

Yes it how it should be, it is the main idea to keep all labels and CPlane style. It is like repository of CPlanes.

As you can see I create a Star Label but this one stays always on the ground!
even the good CPlane on the Cube is created!
I have not the Star under the mouse!



And if I create the Star on the inclined face of the cube, it stays on this face!
And no Star under the mouse!
I must miss a step! :)

Pilou,
you can move labels only by your hands, it is just an objects with style CPlane that you can reuse to set different CPlanes at the same positions.
