Rectangle/Lasso Select Tool for trueSpace7.61

rectangle select icon lasso select icon

Installs 2 buttons, one for rectangle style object selection and one for lasso style object selection.

persistent base install required

Installation:

  1. install the persistent base if not already installed
  2. drag the node into the link editor
  3. delete the node from the scene after install is complete

The script works by getting a list of all scene items and creating a temporary mesh using each objects center and bounding box corners. Point edit mode is started and a modified version of either the rectangle or lasso select tool is activated. When you make a selection the tool will end and the corresponding scene items will be selected.

object select options panel

Usage:

  • Left click to run with current options
  • Right click either button to open the options panel where selection filters can be set for meshes, cameras and lights and NURBS control point meshes.
  • respect locks is compatible with the unselectable script

Notes:

  • If an item is selected before starting the tool the corresponding vertices on the temporary mesh will be preselected.
  • The filters for mesh, lights and cameras must be set before running the tool.
  • Control Point Mesh will select the control point mesh of a NURBS object instead of the whole NURBS object.
  • Respect Locks will ignore items that have been locked.
  • Dev Note: the commands Space.GetCenter and Space.GetBoundingBox will crash truespace when used on incompatible nodes.
