[Plugin] Quick Camera Rotate 90º (Roll)

thomthom

What a great, basic tool.

Thanks, Jim.

It would be kind of cool if you could hook it into the Protractor Tool to make it interactive.

Yea - that's exactly what I had in mind. A click drag to define an angle displayed on sceeen as the protractor tool, and where you can use the VCB to input a specific angle.

ThomThom:
I can see that your concept would have relevance for tight box selections in a busy model. I was trying to do this yesterday while selecting a series of end connected edges between other parallel edges in a mesh for scaling that one series. Being able to roll the camera will enable me to make a tall thin selection box with the select tool to isolate.

What would be nice is a selection tool that can use circular or polygonal selection areas, but I guess that would be for another thread, and I suppose this is not addressable in ruby.

It would be kind of cool if you could have a similar script hook into the Protractor Tool to make it interactive.

... I'll add a third vote for this feature.

Thanks Jim.

I like it: simple but effective!

It indeed deserves a dedicated icon.

Hello,

your plug-in to roll the camera is great , but it does not meet my need . What I look for, is being able to rotate my camera precisely 90 degrees in the direction I want, either left, right, up, down.

This is in order to be able to create a cube to six or rendered with Kerkythea or Twilight Render and then assemble them with GoCubic.

Plug-In "cubicpanoout.rb" does not create six scenes, he does that exporting 6 cubic views. If you have the solution to my problem, it would be much appreciated!

Greetings !

Hi Jim

I realise this is an old thread but here's hoping...

Could you tell me if this plugin would work with 2013, it sounds really useful and I would love to be able to use it however, I have put it in the plugin folder to no avail....

It would be good to know if it would be compatible or not, so I can try harder or give up....

Thanks

Sam

It works fine in SU2013. Perhaps you could describe what you are seeing or not seeing?

I use this great little plug-in a lot, especially to orient from the standard Top view for plans.Now I have a house whose grid is at 45° and I'd like to be able to use this to align the view (as a Parallel Projection).

Is there a simple mod to make this work for 45°? I took a quick look at the script, and it wasn't obvious to me, which variable/value to change.Maybe someone who actually knows what they're doing could help me out?

Thanks.

Perhaps this does what you want?

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for... I guess I just didn't scroll far enough down the page when I searched 'rotate camera' in the plugins forum.

Thanks TIG
