maybe a third column in the Options/Shortcuts for a little text description?
because after more 20 it's some difficult to remember what makes what :)

how about a key stroke like shift to lock snapping like in sketchup when your snapping to say Zaxis you hold down shift and the snap can't break and jump to something else?

Hi xrok1 - one way you can do this now is to drag out a construction line along that direction, then click and hold on the little arrow that pops up, and choose "Project next point" on that menu. That will lock down the next point to be projected on to that direction.

Check out the construction line section in the docs here: http://moi3d.com/beta/moi_command_reference2.zip for more information.

I might be able to add a keyboard method for that in the future, but that one will have to wait for a bit.

Hi Pilou,

> because after more 20 it's some difficult to remember what makes what :)

For keyboard shorctus that have script code in them, you can put a comment in the code with a note in it. You would put in in surrounded by /* */ , just after the script: part.

For example, if you have a shortcut that has this code in it to remove the last construction line:

script:var gd = moi.geometryDatabase; var clines = gd.getObjects().getConstructionLines(); if ( clines.length > 0 ) gd.removeObject( clines.item(clines.length-1) );

You can modify it to put a comment in it like this:

script:/*Remove the last construction line*/ var gd = moi.geometryDatabase; var clines = gd.getObjects().getConstructionLines(); if ( clines.length > 0 ) gd.removeObject( clines.item(clines.length-1) );

That way you will see your comment when you browse through your shortcut keys under Options.

Hi Marc,

This is one of the types of things that I hope to enable in version 2 along with a kind of object browser / grouping type mechanism.

ok! Thx very useful!
does exist a limit of the number of caractere? (text + script itself)

Hi Pilou, there is no special limit on number of characters, but if you put in like 10,000 characters you may reach some limit of what can be stored in an .ini file.

Hi Michael,
I have one request.
It could be possible to have an automatic blueprint function? It will be very usefull.
Thanks a lot for your very great stuff !

Hi Nikolas, you mean generating a 2D drawing from your 3D model, with silhouette curves, etc? This is definitely something that I do want to add in a future version. I'm not sure exactly when it will be available though.
