Could you use the ideas in the 4 points made from my 'quadded' triangle example [you don't actually divide the faces! just find pt 4] to map the UVs onto the triangle this would take the edge shared with a quad for one alignment automatically as the pt 4 is always centered on that shared edge and offset at a right-angle giving the other alignment, with the other aligned to a joining quad edge?Capture.PNG

Good job considering the limitations you are working with. I long to test this out myself if I ever get new hardware. 👍
Shaderlight appears to be a very fine application. And yes, I did see the thread comparing VRay and Shaderlight.

another clipboard extender is "ditto"

http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/

works very well and holds quite a few items.

Finally finished. Ive deleted the old one and uploaded the new, improved, version to the 3DWarehouse. Ive changed the link posted earlier so it should take you straight to the new one.

Many thanks to Dave for the advice and to Luca for his excellent plans. 😉

@dave r said:

What kind of mouse did you buy? You'll probably need to have some sort of settings for those buttons in the OS before you can assign any shortcuts.

What OS are you using and what version of SU? Most people put that info in their profiles.

Its ok Im using a cheap argos wireless mouse, its surprisingly really good. Apparently the top button is the DPI button and cant be changed. so I will be just using xmouse for the two side buttons.

Oh yes - sorry Dave, should have read your previous post properly. 😳

It is also possible to make a plugin to switch templates quickly. I made one a long time ago for SU6 before similar features were included by Google.

It might still work in version 8, but I need to check.

Here is the finished table.

Thanks. I`ll take a look. 👍

Nice but we need to find you some decent wood grain materials.

Yes - then I`d be able to afford the Pro version of SU! 😆

yea - a UI that's separate and doesn't lock up. That would be a big enhancement.

Looking good.
