Member rs3d Posted June 20, 2013 Member Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Just two quick question - couldn't find an easy way to toggle between text and pure graphic icons in V4. Another thing is that I somehow changed the size of the left toolbar, so now it has 3 icons in a column - but again, I could not find a handle to change this. On the right side it is very easy to do so... These question might sound a bit naive, but even though the UI gets better and better it is still not "standard"... but thanks for developing it so continuously!

Featured Comment Carlosan Posted June 20, 2013 Featured Comment Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 LMB click the letter T to change how UI look: textural or iconic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member rs3d Posted June 21, 2013 Author Member Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks carlosan, but T opens the brushes menu as a floater... is there a menu for that as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted June 21, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 He means the icon in said toolbar that looks like a T. And it sucks because I'm sure you'd not have asked this question if the options were like that: Am I right ? This is just sad (don't take it for you rs3d, you're not responsible), but those questions keep poping up on the boards because the UI is counter intuitive in some areas... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah sorry, i was not clear The icon like letter T top left toolbar -------------------- Beat: How do you get the tool Option floating menu ? tool settings, stroke settings...could be shared ?

Member rs3d Posted June 21, 2013 Author Member Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks BeatKitano (great filmmaker!) for pointing - since next to the "T" is the brush line style I thought this is a Text tool (like in the Adobe world) I'm sorry for these kind of posts, but even though I'm doing 3d graphics for more than 20 years this UI isn't very intuitive - I would expect such options in the Preferences, at least in addition to the T icon...

Contributor BeatKitano Posted June 21, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hehe, yes the UI is in DIRE need of standardization... We tried to push in that direction with a few others, but alas what you see now is the best we could do given the time Andrew devoted to this "overhaul"... About preferences, some mockups were done in that regard: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, if you would like things like that, definitely vote for the ui change... Andrew has everything to make it happen already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member alvordr Posted June 21, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Some find the UI easier than others. I learned 3DC in a matter of a few weeks enough to tweak the UI to my liking, whereas other programs other people like for this kind of thing, I don't always find very intuitive. This is why we're here in the forums to help. Give it some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member marsmotion Posted August 8, 2021 Member Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 i had no idea the "T" was a button...im glad this conversation happened because i was really confused as i think i accidentally pushed it. now that i know its modal and even has a tool tip i wont miss it again. as a somewhat new user this got me for a bit...
