Hi Cemortan_Tudor, sorry the part I don't understand is if you want to make a mirror of an existing rectangle why not use the Transform > Mirror command (or Transform > Copy) to do it rather than rectangle 3 pts?

However if you do want to use a 3 point rectangle for that you can use Construction lines to do point mirroring. When you place a construction line the mirrored end is available as a snap point. Here's an example:

Thats the desired action, result
i'm doing now in 2 ways. except manual
1. make a rectangle, mirror, adjust, union
2. make a rectangle with center, move, adjust points

Hi Cemortan_Tudor, I'm not sure if I understand correctly but if you want to make a rectangle with 3 points but with the first point being at the midpoint of the rectangle's edge you can do that now by placing one construction line at the start to get the snap points you need. When you create a construction line the mirrored point is available as a snap point to enable things like this:

by u'r method, selection i've done to show proportions
they are not equal

Hi Cemortan_Tudor, I think you're maybe not targeting the point that you need?

If you start a construction line here:


And end it here:


Then you will have 4 "end" snap points available. Those 2 above where and an additional one here:


And another one here:


For what you want, you want to target these 2:


You do not want to target these 2:


There will also be a "Mid" snap available here, you don't want this one either for this particular use.

thanks, my fault, it makes a point snap upon releasing construction lines, it's not interactive
i'll build a tool for myself

move with hotkeys restrictions, similar to blender
move +x/y/z
wanna add one more future for softimage users )) middle click -> move with restrictions to closest bbox axis location

It's not dangerous to name your function with the same native one ?

i'm replacing natives with new ones, u can read comments where and what i've changed

move with hotkeys restrictions, similar to blender
move +
x/y/z
s - bounding box
a - screenspace (targetFrame)

Hi Cemortan_Tudor, so just a heads up - when you replace the standard commands you can encounter 2 problems later on when installing new versions. The first problem is the new install won't have your mods in place so you'll need to reapply them. The second one is if the standard command has any other new functionality added you will lose that new functionality if you just copy over your entire modified file rather than merging your changes in to the new one.

So you can do that if you wish but it's not recommended and you will likely encounter some problems down the road.

What I often see happening with this type of customization is that it tends to bind you to one particular MoI version for a long time and then you're not able to get bug fixes and other new things with new program version updates.

O hayo !
can u make a future that disables object selection while in wireframe mode (hidden brep's or faces)

Hi Cemortan_Tudor,

re:
> can u make a future that disables object selection while in wireframe mode (hidden brep's or faces)

You can prevent an object from being selected by turning on its "locked" property, the Edit > Lock command will do that, or in the scene browser use Ctrl+click on the left status area.

Also another way you can screen objects from being selected is by turning on a selection filter. That's done in the scene browser by a Ctrl+click on the selection dot area.

- Michael

Intuitively that should be turned on by default

Unfortunately if any 'esc' event will cancel filters
updated
Toggle shaded mode
script:/*!Toggle shaded mode */ var breps = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getBReps();var hide = true; for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i ) { var faces = breps.item(i).getFaces(); if ( i == 0 ) hide = !faces.item(0).hidden; faces.setProperty( 'hidden', hide ); } if (moi.selection.isFilterActive( 'Types', 'Edges')) moi.selection.clearSelectionFilters(); else {moi.selection.setFilter( 'Types', 'Edges', true); moi.selection.setFilter( 'Types', 'Points', true); moi.selection.setFilter( 'Types', 'Curves', true);}

i haven't thought that fillet can fail on curves
red - points selection to fillet -> if number is bigger then 1.66 fails to fillet, radius should allow that (no points nearby)

found smt today and it's awesome ! Copy paste between Moi & Rhino ! Great one & thanks !

Hi Cemortan_Tudor,

re:

Can you please post the .3dm file with your curve in it?

Thanks,
