Now that I'm using 2.5 at home, I've been thinking about pie menus a lot. I find in Modo and Maya, for certain things they're great for workflow. I like how in Modo the main ones are triggered by holding down a keyboard combination, as opposed to Maya's right-click-and-hold method (which I feel isn't very efficient). Modo's visual feedback (a little arrow that spins with your mouse combined with highlighting the buttons) is also very good. Right now I'm creating operators with specific prefixes and using space to search for them, but that's not optimal.
I really like the idea of it popping up a panel like the F6 key, although the same pie menu in the Properties area could scroll to the requested panel instead. I would *kill* for the ability to customize pie menus by creating custom classes for them. ~ C On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 5:01 PM, Tom M <[email protected]> wrote: > Matt and others, on IRC we were discussing how slow and workflow > disrupting it is to move to the vertical panel layout and then scroll > to the option you want to tweak. > > It was suggested that a hotkey combo bringing up a pie menu of the > current available panels would be a lot faster, and would eliminate > the need to scroll, similar to how the F6 key after an operator brings > up the tweak operator menu. > > LetterRip > _______________________________________________ > Bf-committers mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers > _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
