Version 1.1.2

Fixes a small undo bug.

should i uninstall/delete the previous build or it overwrites when .rbz is loaded?

thomthom

It should overwrite it. To be sure you can type in the Ruby Console: TT_Vertex::PLUGIN_VERSION - it should return 1.1.2 is successful.

panixia

ya ya it was just solved, thanks anyway. it overwrites fine.

No beta. Just log in to your account on the Vertex Tools website.

It is possible to change the position of the screen text (top left) in a simple manner? It conflicts with the outputof the On Screen Rooling Reel plugin...

Did you try moving it?

I thought of a not so simple solution
Thank you! I will use this perfect solution until there is a complicated one...

Complicated solution:

Hack the RBS encryption and decode the original source.
Find the code for the default position.
Recompile.

Hi, ThomThom:
I just finished trolling through this entire thread, and I know I am missing something. In my first experiments with the tool, I make a random selection on the model and test the Gizmo. I orbit to the other side and see that I have also made a selection on the back side and deformed this in the same way. I thought there was a technique to select only that visible to the camera?

thomthom

Enable "Ignore Backfaces" - where the vertices of every face with its backface facing the camera will not be selected.
Note this is not the same as what you see - it's entirely the relationship between the face normal and the camera.

To get true selection of only visible, Make your selection, then right click and choose "Select Only Visible".

Thank you very much for this hint and thank you very much for an excellent tool.

pokes nose in Unless something has changed, right click on the tool bar.. ignore backfaces, or access the controls from the tools menu.. same selection, ignore backfaces

Just purchased this very useful tool. Didn't had time to play with it but I'm shure I will like it.
Thank you for your useful work.

I was using VT the other day to align some vertices one at a time to a straight edge and all of a sudden a small circle appeared in place of the cursor and I could move a vertex and just click on the next one and move it without having to go back to the select-tool/move-tool each time. I've not been able to find out how to get that little circle tool back.

Rich O Brien

If you have no verts selected and then activate the Move tool it goes into Hover Select mode and a little circle appears when you are over a vert to indicate it is selected.

A shortcut to drop any selected verts is to right click and choose Select None. Now change to the move tool and this hover method is active.

See you next month Bob

Thanks, Rich. Such a great tool The merge vertices: oh yes. The gizmo

Have tickets. Have reservations. Raring to go
