Hideedges script - Right Click Context

Dear Azuby,

Do you think you could modify your script so that I can access it from the right click context menu? I use your script a lot when reducing the poly-count of a model as I always have to hide edges.

Kind regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,

it's done. I've added a submenu to the context menu. Download version 0.2 from http://errorinitus.de/

Much fun!

Dear Azuby,

Thank you for taking the time to modify your script. I will try it out tomorrow as it is getting rather late (00:24).

Kind regards,
Bob

Dear Azuby,

I have just had an opportunity to try out your script. Perfect!!!

I like the undo hide-edge function too, and the right-click context menu is just SO HANDY.

I use your script for cleaning up model elements. Suppose I am modelling an object with a 6-fold symmetry about the z-axis say. I model the object and then take a 1/6 slice, make it a component, and then rotate it about the z-axis. Using your Hide Edges script, I can click on the two bounding faces to hide the edges, then delete the faces before rotating. This saves a lot of time with the Eraser tool + shift, even in wire-frame mode.

Thanks once again.

Regards,
Bob
