[Bf-committers] Extrude Popup

2010-02-11 Thread William Reynish
Hi all, A lot of fantastic features and fixes has made it into 2.5 recently, but one thing caught my eye as a pretty large setback. When extruding, a popup menu now appears giving the user several option to choose from. Unfortunately I don't think this is a very good solution, for these reaso

Hi, I've followed this discussion about the operator settings issue, and thought I'd throw in a concept that we discussed during Winter Camp. Before I get into it, the primary concept of the editor-specific panels was that they should take up as little room as possible, and require as little

Hi Brecht, Good list. I'd add Slow Parent, Old Track and Curve Animation, which have been replaced by constraints. Slow Parent is not farm safe and seems to cause issues.  On Jul 08, 2010, at 10:30 AM, Brecht Van Lommel wrote: Hi, Here's a proposal to remove a number of features before 2.6.

Hi, One issue we might easily run into using the word 'pivot' is while setting the pivot for transformation. You would then have a sentence in a tutorial like: 'choose the pivot as the pivot'. This is obviously bad :) Of course you could explain it like 'choose the object's own pivot as the t

Hi Damien, I've tested your patch today - works really nicely. I was even surprised to see how the zooming is butter smooth - either it's implemented in a different way, or it moves in very tiny, unnoticable increments. Regular panning and orbiting is more jerky though. I agree with others that

ersome compared to simpler gestures sans modifier. Since orbiting is a very common action I'd advise that it be mapped to the rotate gesture, replacing the view plane rotation. Though I wonder if all of this is customisable through the input editor? Or is it hard coded? Cheers Willia
