Full Version: 3D View reset Gizmo/Fly cam

Show messages: All  1  2-6

Hi Yanus3D, MOI does not have a 3D Gizmo like you see in animation focused DCC programs.

Instead it has a 2D edit frame similar to 2D vector editing programs like Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape.

You can reset the 2D edit frame on an object by clearing selection and reselect the object.

Or if you want to reset the 3D view's pivot point for orbiting the camera you can do that by selecting your surface and then click the "Reset" button on the view:



You can also set the 3D view rotation pivot to a specific point using the Zoom Area button on that same toolbar.

if the object or gizmo is named i think using command line and/or scene browser with reset view is very fast...
it could be 10km away i would search for "gizmo" or "object name" (direct in the command line, by pressing tab and typing)
then type "reset" if you have a script to do that, or use a shortcut key.

you can use options>shortcut key:
moi.view.resetAll();

i personally prefer to use command line searches or actions at moment so i created a simple text file in notepad saved it with filename reset.js to commands folder in windows: User\AppData\Roaming\Moi\Commands

moi.view.resetAll();

Thank you!

That works!... I missed it in usage. (Well, I am partly excused for it because I use MoI only as a bridge importer/exporter between Rhino and LightWave.)


Ufff, yes... after mastering scene control in Unity (which is perfectly done!), it becomes very difficult.

Perhaps you could add a middle mouse click command (currently missing in the options) so we can assign any command to it.

hi yanus, looks like middle mouse button is permaset to pan

"Middle click for Pan, and the scroll wheel for zooming"
https://moi3d.com/wiki/Shortcut_Keys

I searched through the moi ini "mouse" but didnt see a middle click setting
Maybe there is an ini setting or option could be introduced..

Not tested but maybe this might help:

X-Mouse Button Control (XMBC) is a free tool for Windows that allows
you to re-configure and remap mouse buttons to expand the capabilities of your mouse.

im sure theres other tools. Also nearly all current Logitech mice
with a physical middle-click (usually activated by pressing down on the scroll wheel)
are programmable. However, button customization depends on the model's software family.

cheers
