[Closed] tweak mode

Hi guys,

I was wondering if it’s possible to develop in maxscript a tweak mode like the one in wings 3d and silo.

What it does is that when you click on a vertex you can directly move it in screen space.

This means click+drag moves the vertex in screen space mode with no gizmo, and on release it deselects it.

Thanks

That will rock for sure

Its mostly already there no?

in the vertex subobject mode, select move mode, select screen from the pulldown coordinate systems, and hit x to shut off your gizmo…

but if you really wanted to do it, you could create a macroscript that pretty much does this,

–store which move/rotate/axis modes we currently have
–store which subobjectlevels we are in
–store which toolmode.coordsys we are in

max modify mode
subobjectlevel = 1
max move
toolmode.coordsys #screen
actionMan.executeAction 0 “401” – Tools: Transform Gizmo Toggle

–restore crap from above…

only sticky issues may be how to get which move/rotate modes you are in, and how to on mouse release deselect all vertex’s…
