Isn't it Silly "TEXT" default behavior ???

Isn't it Silly "TEXT" default behavior ???

Every time I go in there ... I forget to right click.

Wings3D is awesome. It does not need this kind of extra promotion.

On the outside chance that this would get some attention ... perhaps CENTERING the text
as if it were a primative being added (they all get centered) would be very nice. Thank you.

vm + circularise

feeds@yuku.com (Fonte Boa) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:25:06 GMT

Really annoying have to freeze virtual mirror to rmb circularise works properly
(otherway the command doesnt accept the user defined flatten plane).

Connect Won't connect across Torus.

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:54:07 GMT

Connect Won't connect across Torus.
But it does connect through complicated concavities.

I can think of why this might be. Because it only tries to
create a single loop, closed or open. But I'm thinking that's more
arbitrary than anything else. Clearly the code is in there
that can project across faces ... why not write just a bit more
to chase down all the possible loops?

Furthermore ... I don't think Connect should be called...

UV mapping cut movement

feeds@yuku.com (joshadow) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:02:43 GMT

It's annoying that when you cut two polygons appart in UV mode that it will choose to move one of them.
This is very inconvenient when trying to keep the correct proportions/positions of all the polygons.

I get how it might be helpful in some cases, to make the new seperation clear, but I want to turn it off.

Is it possible to disable this movement-on-UV-cut? or at least change the move distance to zero?

Wings needs to go back to Elementary School ...

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:31:45 GMT

Sorry ... I could not resist.

I love Wings3D ... but sometimes you just have to say
something is wrong. Select Similar is completely wrong ...

Flatten should support number TAB (for key entry)

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:56:55 GMT

Flatten should support number TAB (for key entry)

Why can't I flatten 50% ? 80% ?

It seems to be an ideal candidate for numeric percentage input (like tighten).
The input would ideally be a percent.

I think I've checked in on this many times only to be disappointed.

Default Axis

feeds@yuku.com (Fonte Boa) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:24:30 GMT

I would like to suggest the command "Tools|Set Default Axis"
could have an option to allow the user to define the default axis
without have to define the reference point.
tks for the attention.

Loop Extension Grumble (Withdrawn) ...

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:04:17 GMT

This loop extension issue caught me off guard
when working on plugins. This video is
PURE Wing just loop extending. "L" key
and then selecting Loop after getting confused ...

http://www.manifoldlab.com/temp/pill-gripe-huff.html

I'm not 100% sure edge-loop extend should be selection limited
as the default. I don't know what the...

Uv mapping and hard edges

feeds@yuku.com (OXO) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:34:37 GMT

Auto UV by marking edges for cut makes the edges hard, so that they then show up in the output as a seam (output -> 3ds > conv3ds = file.cx)

But - they don't display as hard in Wings, and the seam isn't visible

Also does this when using feature marking. Anybody got a workaround?

VRadio API Gripe ...

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:57:19 GMT

VRadio API Gripe ...

I used a newline in the label for a vradio option.
This seems to work ... but it writes over the text
from the second option (my radio group has extacly two choices).

Could we get the newline to force the second radio option to draw lower on the
screen. This would sure improve this GUI control.

I don't understand "D" key ... Does anyone else ???

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:55:53 GMT

I don't understand "D" key ... Does anyone else ???

It does not work with the Shapes Menu. And it certainly doesn't work with Tools Menu
Put On Ground.

Should it not work on any command that returns a new State ????

PLEASE ... if this could be extended to TOOL and SHAPES ... it would be an awesome
move in my book. Anyone know why not ???

BB

feeds@yuku.com (Micheus) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:37:34 GMT

Why BB could be applied only to whole object?
If I have some selected vertex an I try to scale it to saved BB all object is scaled.
There is some situations that this possibility could be usefull.

Weld still does not work right at all when ...

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:30:01 GMT

Weld still does not work right at all when ...

Multiple adjacent faces are to be welded.

Well just breaks down.

It is easy to understand why this is the case ...

I think that the basic design of well is wrong when it comes to a user
wanting to weld faces ????

I mean ...shouldn't there be a WELD on contect menu when in face mode ???
This would look for two faces occupying the same position (vert by vert...

why is weld in object mode menu?

feeds@yuku.com (arquebus) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:47:41 GMT

weld only works on faces, so why is it in the object mode menu?

Connect (Mode) leaves no selection.

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:47:18 GMT

Connect (Mode) leaves no selection.

But if it could ... it definately should.

UVmapping undo and camera

feeds@yuku.com (ycarry) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:03:20 GMT

Not really a gripe not really a grumble but 2 simple 'why':
why undos/redos are not separate, one stack for UVmapping one for modeling? maybe not possible but I just have the case today where it be great to keep change in UV and not in object.
why camera setting not saved in UV editing? fov changed to 0,01 always return to 0.1

edge display problems

feeds@yuku.com (ethin) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:41:56 GMT

wings suddenly stopped displaying edges. They show if I point at them or select them but other wise nothing, it doesn't show hard edges ether. It's made it so I can't do any work in wings. Any idea what I can do to fix it?

Weld in vertex mode

feeds@yuku.com (Micheus) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:07:51 GMT

Why I can't apply weld to more than two selected vertex?

...and, actually the procedure is: select first vertex; select weld in context menu; select the second vertex. (Am I right?)
but, when the it's overlapped is very dificult to select the second. In this case, select these two and use weld could be more easy.(imo)

Please make "D" Key work on Shapes Menu

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:34:46 GMT

Please make "D" Key work on Shapes Menu

... is there some reason why it should not (grumble grumble).

I really need this for new work on plugins I'm doing.

Tools/Align Grumble ...

feeds@yuku.com (ggaliens) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 07:07:55 GMT

Tools/Align Grumble ...

It SEEMS like this only work with objects ...
yet there is no status bar hint (nothing) for any
of the Tools/Align options.

They are accessible to verts, faces and edges so probably
should be some kind of transform available in those modes ???
