[Plugin] Repeat Copy UPDATED 2-24-2010

I imagine its drawn in the viewport using openGL (accessible when you create a tool.) add_note only allows you to add text.

It's done with the view.draw_* commands.

Thx !

I wanted to mention that there is yet another new version of the plugin updated to smustard, allowing the UI to be moved around and reset. Here is a quick video that shows this capability:

Chris, is there a way to add a "Pause" button which allow the user to pick a different set of components, them by clicking on it a again, it would resume with copying using the current parameters but with the new selection set.

Chris Fullmer

I like the idea John, but it is a bit more complex to manage. With different sets of scale and randomness. Its hard to visualize. But it could be powerful for sure.

JClements

Hi Chris, not sure if I conveyed my suggestion clearly. My thought was that the "Pause Button" would replicate the process of closing the script, making a new selection, and then re-initiating the script.

John

Chris Fullmer

Oh gotcha, I did think you were suggesting something a little more complicated.

Yes, that had crossed my mind - the ability to add or remove components from the selection set would be nice. I could see that feature being added to this script for sure.

How about just holding down shift activates this? Or I could make a button to toggle into selection mode.

Chris

JClements

Whatever is the easiest. Like to see key combo's close to SU's selection keys if possible; Ctrl-click to add to current selection, maybe Shift-Click to remove one at a time, and Alt-Click to start over.

Yes, yes, most useful and thank you, but I must respectfully insist: where do those nice face-me trees come from which are in the page 1 tutorial? Your private collection seems not searchable from here, and a nice woods they would make should I need some place to inhabit.

Chris Fullmer

Hey Brooke, I almost forgot to respond! The trees are just random trees I found on the 3d warehouse. I just tried to look for them again and no luck. The 3dwarehouse is really lame like that.

Chris

brookefox

You are very kind, and yes it seems to be.

I will keep mine peeled.

Thank you much.

What about this suggestion from the first page of this thread? Will this be included someday? I really love this plugin, but that would make me like it even more.

@diego-rodriguez said:

thought. perhaps an option would be good to insert groups or components of two ways -

position> onto face
position> as the original

perhaps, following start of the tool. pressing Ctrl ( switch between insert original and ontoface)

Chris Fullmer

Oh yeah, I do like that idea. I think I can implement it easy enough. I've got a few other things I am working on that I really need to get done before I update this unfortunately. I'd like to tidy up a bunch of these kinds of projects here soon though. I've got a bit of things outside of SU I'd like to get working on too.

I'll see what I can do, but don't expect anything very soon.
