Re: Modeller 3D plugin Yes, the navigation is much more intuitive now. A quick test revealed a few problems. Area select often does not select the faces in the drawn select area (both square and lasso). On a sphere it seems to work but on a cube or triangle not. I still don't like that clicking outside the model deselects everything. It's too easy to accidentally click and lose what you have selected. A button Select none under the Select all button will be better. I'm also missing deselect an area. Sometimes it's easier to first select all and then deselect an area. Overall I think selecting and deselecting is made a little too complex. It is not intuitive. Try to follow as much as possible as how it works in the Sweet Home 2D view. That will make it much easier for most users. - leftclick select or deselect if already selected. - leftclick+drag area select, select what is not selected and deselect what is already selected. - for lasso the same but with ctrl. - with shift the previous adds to the current selection without erasing what is already selected (ctrl+shift for the lasso). Notice that there's no right click. A right click and drag is awkward for many users. It's a motion they never or rarely use. Select Points and look at the coordinates under Move for different selected points. With a single point selected this should be the actual coordinates of the point I assume? However the numbers for the same point change when you rotate the model and select the same point again. Simple navigation shouldn't change the coordinates. I think you got the XYZ values mixed up somewhere. A Z value 0 should be on the grid but I see Z values on a triple pyramid with the top 0 AND one of the bottom points with Z 0??? One I noticed is that is seems like the Z value is displayed in the Y field. This will definitely need a manual. Some fields make no sense to the casual user. (But wait with a manual until there are no longer big changes.) I'll test some more. Every version is getting better so keep it up! ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
