New TSX - DD Pick Thrue

Post by DesignDevil »

This PlugIn is the "answer" of a request by Emmanuel. He also helps me to write the readme file - thanks again to you.

Description:
DDPickThrue solves the trueSpace picking problem if multiple objects are hidden behind or inside others meshes. For example, if 5 cubes inside each other (see image), trueSpace's default selection behavior only cycles between the first and bigger cube and the second cube inside. It is impossible to pick up the 3rd cube and the others inside. DDPickThrue solves this problem and you can select each object one by one.

Download can be found here

Have fun with it.

Very simple and useful plugin. i like it because i can forgot the plugins after it is enabled. i have often complex scenes and before i used the keyboard to select an object behind several objects. It is as a new option of the interface.

Thanks marcel.

Well, Emmanuel told me that a upgrade could be useful. So here it is - sorry, i know a upgrade so fast after release is some kind of stupid.

Anyhow. I added a distance detection. Before this i don't sorted the objects - they came in the same way as the nodes are in the scene tree. Now i calculate the distance between the detected objects and the cam. So that the nearest object is the first selected one and so on...

The download link is the same as above.

Modeler is now superior to Workpace in this area ;)
Workspace let us cycle between imbricated objects, but we cannot select objects BEHIND others.

In Modeler, with DD PickThrough, we can now select anything !
