HAve you a little animation of what must the glue's pot must do?

A video of the plugin in use? Yes I'll make one once I make v1.1.0.

Here you go sir (especially, with the annotations it is pretty fast so pause it when needed):

I realised I could (should) add your name to the Title filed, too, not just into the description filed.

How about a beer instead?

thomthom

Beer also works! ...but I forgot! I'm worried about my mind now...

Added some pauses when reading the annotation text seemed to be a bit fast. Gee, I like these features.

And mine...

thomthom

What do you use to make the videos with annotations?

Gaieus

YouTube itself has these annotation tools. The video was simply captured with CamStudio but I did not edit anything in it.

thomthom

Ah cool. I'm about to produce the videos for Vertex Tools now. Never uploaded to YouTube before.

Gaieus

Let me know if I can help (although I myself am not a great YT'er either). Also, annotations/annotating can be shared so when you get to there, I can also help with doing that part.

EscapeArtist

Very useful. Saves the time of having to align things with the rotate tool when they're slightly off kilter.

Thanks!

Ben Ritter

Thank you Thomthom.

Version 1.1.0
Merged into one tool. Use Ctrl to toggle between Superglue and Solvent.

Sorry I am in total fog
I believe that you must make another video more explicte
(where are the axes of glue at the start and in which volumes...
I am waiting the Doh revelation

As you can see these 2 components have at the start no special Glue plane between them
They are just aligned
After glue no changement... so...foggy mood

thomthom

The components must already be defined as Glue to components. If they don't have this property they won't be glued.

The tool doesn't turn components into GlueTo components - it just glue/unglues existing ones.

thomthom

Here's my test file.

It's a wee bit tricker to define an arbitrary axis that yields predictable result.
