Advanced Member jimhatama Posted August 23, 2021 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Thea conceptor software introduced this method of defining workplane for On Plane operations, that I find should be included in 3dcoat. Right mouse button for rotation and with cntrl forward and backward plane movement. Gif from blender addon quick shape that uses similar thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Agree. I like Teya workflow, trying to mimic that on 3DC i can replicate using Snake tool + Splines. Will be nice to add more control settings on Tool options and to draw free with strokes that affects size y depth by pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member jimhatama Posted August 24, 2021 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 And there should be an option of plane transparency - big size red plane could be very distracting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member jimhatama Posted August 24, 2021 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) right now surface can be defined by right mouse button. This will be new plane definition type. Press right mouse and hold - after that alt/shift will change rotation and cntrl forward/backward movement. right now you cant change camera direction when you defining plane too. Im using now right mouse as plane definition now and 2 hotkeys for movement steps - all that clunky at best (and you need to constantly changing movent step value) *im on wacom too Edited August 24, 2021 by jimhatama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 2 hotkeys for movement steps Which ones ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member jimhatama Posted August 24, 2021 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Ive assigned Z and C on this buttons but the whole idea of this suggestion is that the plane should be moved/rotated by mouse movement, instead of this 2 buttons Edited August 24, 2021 by jimhatama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 So, what if give the possibility to assign 2 keys, one (when hold) rotates plane, other - moves when mouse/pen moves? Say, hold R - it rotates. hold M - it moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause less hotkey used, and you either way cannot perform these key operations while plane is moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 @jimhatama When this new feature is released, could you make a video showing how you use it in your work? It would be good to share it with the community Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
