Hello,
I added a patch to the tracker that adds two new transform orientation modes to the 3D viewport. The first, called "Set", will enable the user to reposition/rotate the manipulator widget, without it having any effect on the geometry under it (setting manipulator state). This can be done using the manipulator itself or using Gkey/Rkey. It also fully supports X/Y/Z constraints and CTRL-snapping. When the manipulator is set, the user should select the second new transform orientation, called "Free", which will keep the manipulator in its "Set" location/rotation but will then allow this manipulator to be used to transform geometry. With current Blender, freely setting the manipulator only works using 3D cursor, which not allows to set rotation, neither supports X/Y/Z constraining or versatile CTRL-snapping. I hope this will be considered and am open to discussion, Gert De Roost. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
