Script works similarly to align and distribute found in Inkscape and some Adobe applications.

Awesome Clinton thanks for releasing this. I really need to do more on the workspace side of TS; I seem stuck on mostly using modelside at present.

This is a beautiful addon. I am definately going to try make a webseries in the WS.

i have never liked workspace too much and propably will never like modelside... so Iam stuck too.

Awesome!

...and...what do you think about an option like "look-at" the "first, middle or last selection"?

Thanks.
As far as look-at, I thought of it and decided to pass. Too much effort. I almost passed on all the rotations. Ended up doing them because most of that work was already done in the doom3 import export scripts and the final piece for distributed rotations wasn't too bad.

Very handy tool ! Thank you very much Clinton

Is there any chance you will make a Modeler version also ?

Probably not. It can be done but it's much easier to do this sort of thing in workspace.

Clinton has released so many plugins. Would be great if there where some videos to go along with them. Anyway, Thanks for still caring about truespace clinton.

Yep, I know what you mean. On most pages for the scripts you see the words "you tube here". I hope to have some time in the near future to make those videos.

Thanks for this one Clinton! I can think of a lot of uses for it. Is there more than one undo or is that not possible?

I keep reading about how some of you like Model Side and some like the otherside. Well I like both sides! There are tools on both sides I find usefull.

Only one undo for when you run it and then notice the settings were wrong. The undo button runs the undo command a bunch of times to get back to the previous state.

Update March 2020

fixed a bug - alignment relative to first selected or last selected, the first or last selected item was moving in some cases when it should not be moving at all.

Hi Master of t.Space!

Have a question about Align functions in Modelspace

Is there a tsx plugin to align (in place) an axis to another for rotation?

I don't know.

Could it to be possible in Workspace with your Align script?
(ie. i want that an object got same axes orientation of another without rotate it...so could move it parallel to source object in object-mode instead world or view-mode)

No it's not possible from workspace. There is no common axis between model and workspace.
You could manually copy the rotation values from the first object to the axis of the second object using the object info panel along with the axes tool.

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 11 Jan 2021, 19:25

Here is a script that might help. Copy it into the python script manager "Scene"
Select the source object
Run the Scene script
Select the target object

The axes from the first will copy into the second.

It's a little awkward because the script manager switches to the selected item automatically.

Code: Select all

import trueSpace

doc = trueSpace.GetActiveDocument()

doc.ClearOutTxt()

obj = doc.CurrentSelection()

axrotation = obj.AxesOrientation

print("select target object")


def onselectionchanged():
	global axrotation

	obj = doc.CurrentSelection()
	
	obj.AxesOrientation = axrotation

	doc.ClearOutTxt()

	trueSpace.Stop()
