[Plugin] Control points ver. 1.6.
-
Nice Plugin and thanks for your hard work
Works fine but sometime SU6 suddenly crash.
Unfortunately it doesn(t works with SU7(mac).Cheers
-
Thanks!
-
One of the most powerful plugins I've seen to date! Bravo Kirill!
-
FANTASTIC!
-
actually, not so fantastic
I just cannot add control points to groups, as its done in the videos. I get no such options at the context menu!
-
Can this script recognize and utilize construction/control points placed by another ruby script?

DIY fix: open the script in a plain text editor, find the 6 occurrences of 'model.entities' in the script and edit it to 'model.active_entities' - it will then work inside group edits etc...

Cool

Let us hope that this (TIG's suggestion) is being considered by the author in a revision.
And, I see that it is acknowledged. -
can't beleive i missed this one! f'n incredible.
i would love to be able to select more than 1 point at a time though(wouldn't need FFD anymore) -

i would love to be able to select more than 1 point at a time though(wouldn't need FFD anymore)as far as I know, you can select more than 1 point at a time.

Not sure I wouldn't need FFD anymore, I was thinking in a combination with control points and FFD@ Kirill
Any idea if this plugin could work in SU7 on mac ?
Cheers

well i tried making a cylinder; putting a point on each side, then scaling so they got further apart? it allways tends to pull more to one than the other.

TIG, got a DIY quick fix for one step undo?
-
I have an issue whereby the initial move does not seem to register. If i then do another move, and undo it (!) the mesh jumps to the previous position. And just to make matters worse, this only happens intermittently!

This is an interesting idea. You mean you want to select a set of existing c-points + geometry group then make c-points not just c-points, but control c-points. I think it's possible, but it is not implemented yet in the current version.

Speaking of undo: the work on improving 'undo' behavior is in progress (I want to make it more 'natural', not sure if I can but I'll try). In the current version it is necessary to make undo several times to get everything to the initial state.
Note: it is not necessary to wait until geometry transformation finishes, you may undo previous c-point movement while the group refreshes.
For example, you moved c-point, then immidiately decided to get everything back: press 'ctrl+z' combination 3-times immediately to get the c-point back and to cancel group transformation.I'll try to find out why the initial move does not seem to register.

Kirill:
On the outside c-points question, I thought I had a ruby script loaded prior to install of that placed construction points. I cannot find it now. What I did not fully realize is that cpoints could mean construction point or control point. Evidently your cpoints do more than simply highlight a target point in space.
Sooo-- maybe my question was a bit naive.
But thanks for the reply.
I am putting this script through some modeling tests to learn its use.
Thanks for the opportunity.

I think that it can be a kind of alternative to 'entity scanner' (it was discussed here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=22709&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p191629 ). So it would be possible to link control c-points back manually to groups and/or curves after closing and opening the file. And it would be also possible to link any existing c-points to any group.
What do you think? -
Wouldn't the plain old cpoints that may have been inserted in the model prior to running this plugin have to change their status to Control cpoints? Could your plugin look for pre-existing cpoints(construction points) and change them?
Just in case you understand- I do not have any Ruby expertise -yet.
