Move instances softly, using the mouse

dacastror

hi all, I'm trying to make a tool to move groups, similar to the native tool of sketchup, but so far I'm starting, I wrote the following code and I do not know why the group does not move smoothly


#before beginning must have a selected group

class MoveGroup
   def onMouseMove flags, x, y, view
      mod = Sketchup.active_model
      sel = mod.selection.to_a[0]
      input = view.inputpoint x,y
      p = input.position
      tr = Geom;;Transformation.translation p
      sel.move!(tr) if sel.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)
      view.refresh
   end
end

Sketchup.active_model.select_tool MoveGroup.new

in advance I appreciate your help (Google translator)

hi

it jumps about because it doesn't know where in 3d space the mouse is...

when you lock onto an axis it's fine

try using arrow keys as a modifier...

you won't find them, there's a couple on limited beta release and a few of mac only dev tools that almost no-one else has even seen...
I keep adding to them on the day I decide to release, then I want to test again, ect... etc...
I PM the closest to release one if you want to comment on it...
