Lost ability contextual right click
-
Some how I can not get the contextural right click to work anymore on components or groups.
My suspecion is that its a ruby that I recently downloaded. Unable to debug. Has anyone else had this happen? I rebooted my comupter thinking that might work, but no luck.
-
Happened to me on a few occassions, closing and re-opening normally sorts it out again.
-
Yeah, that's the first thing that I did. Then resorted to rebooting. Tested in several files. No luck so far. Maybe ruby script or hardware related?
Edit: I'm almost certain it's software related to su. I went back to an older version of su and it works fine. It must be ruby related.
-
Might anyone have a solution to this problem? The context won't remain highlighted after picking. Therefore I'm not able to perform operations after picking. Ruby god's help!!!
-
Yep,
It's definitley a ruby script. I dumped all my ruby's in a temp folder. reopened Su, worked fine. Now it's a matter of which one of 258 Ruby is the culprit?
-
Remove bezier curve and spiral staircase, they caused me to lose my right click before.
-
Thanks Solo, but those were not the problem. I put out a request for help on the Ruby forum.
I almost 100% sure it's a recently downloaded ruby if I could only remember
-
I think I found the problem.
It was the projection rubies. Is this a known bug? The projection tools are great. I would hate to have to give up its functionality. -
If the object won't remain highlighted after a right click context menu opens, it could be either a script using the Observer interface or just a "regular" (old-fashioned) script that validates / manipulates the selection in the context menu handler. In the situation you have described, this is a big error.
You can try to narrow down the possible culprits by searching your scripts to find out which ones modify the "selection" object (via selection.add, selection.clear and selection.remove) and that install a context menu handler (via UI.add_context_menu_handler). The easiest way to do the latter is to look in the context menu for non-standard options when a group is selected, and figure out which scripts add those options.)

huh!
Thanks Todd,
Your talking over my head now.
Did you see my comments above? It was a result of the projection scripts. There were several rb's project_*.rb I remove from the plugin folder. Everything seem to work fine after this. I may have unzipped some things in the wrong folder. I will go back and explore.
I have version "projection_v6.zip". Is this the latest?
-
The key to installing projection tools is to follow instructions
.
Just incase someone else runs into this problem, read instruction carefully before unzipping rubies in folder. Instruction say to delete several other scripts before installing. This was the problem. Other scripts which should be erased were in conflict with projection tools. -
OK, glad you got it figured out!!

Actually, I had the same thing happen, and I narrowed the cause down to a new version of VRay for SU's Ruby. Oddly enough, it would only happen on one of the two computers for which I bought the plugin.
-
Indeed, VrayforSU (latest service release) seems to screw up the 'Subdivide 'nd Smooth' pugin as well on some PC's.
