[Plugin] Colour N-Gons v1.0 (17/4/12)
-
ohh I can really use this
I wish I knew how to give it a UI - so you could select edge count (3,4,5,etc) and colour...
-
You're reading my mind Khai. This is beyond my ability but I'll have a stab at it.
-
Easy-peasy... see the part that says
e.edges.length==4
Just change it to any value between 3 and 1000000+
e.edges.length==3for triangulated faces
e.edges.length==6for hexagonal faces
etc... -
I get that Tig.. it's having the code handy all the time and where do I enter it?
-
A 'one-liner' needs to be copied+pasted+<enter> into the Window > Ruby Console to do its stuff.
In this case it works on the current Selection, and changes the material of all selected faces that have the given number of edges... -
does this thing need a module/class etc?
Also does it need a def? All this is still greek to me
-
A 'one-liner' stands as it is - it's just like typing any commands into the Ruby Console.
Of course you could make it a 'module' that has a 'menu' item and a 'dialog' for the number of faces etc etc... -
let's not go there. As much as I need to highlight quads I don't want to tear my hair out. There's not much left after last time

The orange is just comments - they do nothing.
I didn't test it before posting - because now I can 'fix' it for a grand fee!
Gimme the error message and a wallop of money! -
error message below....
?There's none?
-
Ah - found a typo:
def self.self.colour_ngon- should bedef self.colour_ngon. I updated my post. -
That little fella was highlighted in Notepad++. So it finds the errors for you.
-
Updated first post with plugin.
Thanks Thom

Ah, neophyte question, what is the defintion of an Ngon?

a quad is a 4-gon
a tri is a 3-gon
etc....
Hi John

-
