Mesh Origin Script

"Origin To Snap Point oddity"

Followed the steps, not seeing it.
Maybe you can share a scene or add any missing steps. If you made changes to the code or buttons share that too.

The scene is nothing unusual, just primitive cube and planes
No code change except what was suggested
Origin To Snap Point is unchanged

Simply pressing the Origin To Snap Point panel button moves the Origin

I found a set of steps that shows the problem:

origin to object
set snap point
move the object
origin to snap point

I just Reset to Default Context
Created a Cube
Opened the Mesh Origin Scripts
Did your steps
Origin did not move, so that did not produce the issue

Next
Use the Set Origin Widget or Widget Set Snap Point
Press the Origin To Snap Point several times
Origin moves to a different location each time

Dialog settings don't work the same in the Full Beta and Rosetta versions of trueSpace

What are the differences?

I was just about to PM you.

This will 1) disable the tS dialog that asks if it's ok to flatten, 2) runs the FlattenNodes and 3) re-enables the tS dialog
This works for Rosetta, but it will not disable the dialog for the full tS version.

Code: Select all

Node.Value("/Preferences/Dialog settings", "Flatten objects") = false;
MeshModifiers.FlattenNodes(firstsel);
Node.Value("/Preferences/Dialog settings", "Flatten objects") = true;

This is the workaround I just found. Does the same thing except if toggles the dialog option twice after setting it to false.
Setting to true at the end works without the extra toggle steps, so it's only a problem when setting to false.

Code: Select all

Node.Value("/Preferences/Dialog settings", "Flatten objects") = false;
RsTool.ToggleValue("/Preferences/Dialog settings/Flatten objects");
RsTool.ToggleValue("/Preferences/Dialog settings/Flatten objects");
MeshModifiers.FlattenNodes(firstsel);
Node.Value("/Preferences/Dialog settings", "Flatten objects") = true;

There was just one other bug, so it looks like it will release on time after all.

Quoting myself.

Still issue with the flatten dialog.
I found that the tS flatten dialog question has to be answered "yes" plus the checkbox has to be checked before script will control whether or not the tS dialog will show.

Too bad.

In any case here's the latest that fixes the issue I found.
It also includes:
Origin to PE Selection and Set Snap Point while in PE mode will both restore the pe selection mode
fix Set Origin Widget so only run on renderable objects or simple 3d groups.

Just to be clear, I am using UU 10 Standalone to test your latest version
Edit: Crossed post
Latest version looks like you fixed the Origin To Snap Point oddity
I will test the Mesh Origin Scripts more thoroughly tomorrow
Thanks!
