Installation:
- install the persistent base if not already installed - not required if Unofficial Updates are installed
- install the rsx plugin
- install StatusMessage and Widget Scripts
- drag the node into the link editor
- delete the node from the scene after install is complete
General Usage:
- Select the objects/elements to be snapped
- Press one of the snapping buttons
- Select the destination objects/elements
- RMB to commit the selection and move the original selection to the center of the target selection
The Face to Face and Point to Point snap tools do not use the current selection and start by deselecting everything.
If the Copy Source option is active RMB will snap move then reselect the source and wait for another target selection.
RMB Button options
- Copy Source makes a copy and snaps it to the target selection and the widget stays active to continue copying to new target selections.
- Respect Axis Lock uses the state of axis locking to restrict the movement of the snapped selection.
- Maintain Spacing will snap the selected items as a fixed group instead of individually snapping each to the target selection
- Widget Options is the same thing as the Pick Widget Options of the toolbar button.
future change: respect axis locking sb true by default and maybe add to pe pivot snap as well
Notes
- The Copy Source option can be confusing when used with axis snapping because no visible change occurs.
- Object picking selections process uses 2 widgets so there are 2 cancel processes. Before any selection RMB will cancel. After an object is selected RMB the center sphere of the widget to cancel.
- Axis to PE uses the widget scripts
- Joints should be in Shape Skeleton mode for selection.
- Dev Note: Normal icon button size is 26x26, the wide style button is 128x26
