Member SYN7AX3RR0R Posted January 27, 2017 Member Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I remember way back (at least some 3 years ago), I was able to manipulate (Move, Scale, Rotate) Stencils in the viewport (this was before the Smart Material). About the time the full color Stencils got moved under the Smart Material, I was not able to set up Stencil+SmartMaterial manipulation in viewport with a Mouse+ModifierKeys. I go to Camera > CustomizeNavigation > and set desired mouse+key combo for Move,Scale,Rotate Smart Material, but it has no effect. I double checked that I don't have any conflicts. As far as I remember this used to be the place to set it up. Am I doing something wrong or is this broken? I really dislike having to use the transform gizmo for stencils. If I use the top Bar - it's hard to move up (end of screen) With the gizmo, it defaults to the center of Stencil/SmartMat also hard to grab it once you zoom in and center goes off screen. Also manipulating the Stencil with hotkey mouse kombo the cursor is the pivot for the transforms, this makes it much easier to work with. Any clarification/help is appreaciated.

Member SYN7AX3RR0R Posted January 28, 2017 Author Member Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Should I report this as a bug, considering that the commands in "CustomizeNavigation" don't seem to work? Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member SYN7AX3RR0R Posted January 29, 2017 Author Member Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 That was it!! Once enabled, the hotkeys from "CustomizeNavigation" start working. Much appreciated Carlosan! This feels so much better now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member walter_sullivan Posted November 18, 2021 Member Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) OMG! Thanks so much for bringing this up and showing the solution! It feels so awesome now, just as used to from other apps (Blender, Substance Painter). The gizmo approach and the upper controls are nice in theory, but way too slow for actual frequent usage. Maybe this should be the default setting in the preferences to not confuse and disappoint users coming from other software.
