Script that modifies the cage widget to also include a (mostly)regular object navigation widget. Get the best of both worlds here near the bottom of the page:

This Enhanced Cage widget requires that the truespace unofficial patch is installed.


Edit: Rewrote the script so widgets disappear with the tab shortcut and added 3 new widgets instead of modifying the cage widget.

Restart truespace after installation.

Viva La Cage!

Woah Thanks!!! Very handy. Do you think the TAB disappear bug is possible to be fixed? I use it quite a lot. But good work!

I can't seem to get this to work. It doesn't have an installer button like most of your scripts so I figured it should just work, I Ctrl right-clicked on the widget but all it did was disappear.
I'm pretty sure I have the unofficial patch installed. Any idea what might have gone wrong?

I've only seen that a couple of times and both times the widget reappeared after selecting another object. Even without this modification ctrl-rt click should have switched to the cage widget. Is the widget completely gone and not coming back?

I changed the script. Instead of modifying the cage widget it adds 3 new object nav widgets that have a cage included. This one installs all the widgets involved so it should be more robust since the states of all the widgets are set to predictable values. Shift + left click to switch widgets.

I also found that it is required to restart truespace after installing the widgets.

Well the Widget did come back the second time I tried it. The cage never worked though.

However, now I tried your updated version and it does work! Great job! Now I have 2 of my favorite tools in the workspace, modeling just became even easier.
