[Closed] Scripted Manipulators – Snap?
I’m currently researching scripted manipulators.
I found Bobo´s excellent Magnapulators package:

And a spline manipulator script, by Mark Young:

I think scripted manipulators are great, I wonder why they are not more popular.
One thing that strikes me is the lack of snap support, none of the scripts and examples i found work with object snap (endpoint, etc).
I can’t figure out if there’s a way to fix it.
Mark Young has following line in the readme:
- Problems:
- Snapping probably doesn’t work as you’d like since the knots are translated
according to the cursor *displacement*, not position. Need to fix this.
I tried to contact him, but the e-mail isn’t working anymore.
If anyone has a fix for that, of any hints, I’d greatly appreciate it.

bobo actually gave a siggraph presentation on this very subject last year, but Autodesk are being really slow at releasing the DVD of this presentation. Shame!
Good to know…
I hope I can motivate Bobo to join this thread.
At least I’d like to know if it’s even possible to use scripted manipulators with object snap, before I try around for ages.
