Hello everyone!
This addon allows you select back side of a mesh without enabling X-Ray or Wireframe mode. So, you don’t have to press Alt+Z or switch the modes every time you want to include rear geometry(points, edges, faces) into your selection. And this saves a lot of time and clicks! It works very similar to Modo style selection: left mouse button (LMB) - selects front geometry, RMB - selects front+rear geometry. You can assign MMB instead of RMB also.
There are two modes: Rectangle Selection and Lasso. You can switch between them by clicking the icon at the screen or assign a shortcut.
After installation you have to adjust some settings for your right mouse button(RMB).
You’ll see the following area inside of the addon:
0.5.5
* Added the ability to change the position of the icon
0.5
* Fixed issue with saving hotkeys after restart
0.4
* Installation is greatly improved. It is much easier to install the addon now
* Fixed the issue with loading config if Blender was closed when BO was installed selection mode
on box
* Fixed the issue with re-configuration hotkeys after restart
* Now the addon consists of 1 file instead of 3
* Added the ability to set and change hotkeys inside of the addon properties
P.S.
Thanks to @Antony for translation and instruction.
Do you think the addon would benefit from having shift+ctrl to deselect? I do use occlude in a pie menu is already quick but after testing your addon I think it could be something good to have if it had some deselect option.
I’m sorry, I have very bad English. I can not understand what you want
The video shows 3 modes: New select, add selection and reduce selection
You just have to make 3 different hotkeys, like in the video.
That’s all he knows.
No problem I think I deleted some of the keystrokes by mistake so that’s why I was confused too when you showed me that picture.
Edit:
Yeap, that was it I just created a new keystroke it is now working as it should. Thanks for that picture which made me remember I deleted one of the keystrokes by mistake.
Hello everyone!
This addon helps select backface polygons without enabling XRAY or Wireframe mode.
You will spend lesst time clicking for using this operations.
If you worked in modo you probably noticed how cool is that - to select front faces with LMB and backfaces with RMB! That’s why this addon exist.
There are two modes - Rectangle Selection and Lasso. You can switch between them just by clicking on the button in menu
The addon works with the left mouse button, but you need to make a lot of effort to disable all conflicting functions. I do not recommend using the left mouse button.
Perhaps I screwed something up when installing this and trying to get the three new keymaps setup but on the latest 2.80 I get this error as soon as I click on the icon:
Any idea on what I might be doing wrong, or is it because things have changed so much in 2.80?
