Advanced Transform

Hey Vlad,
I hope you’re doing well out there.

Regarding the previous reports. It looks like in 3.2 there is definitely a bug.
I recorded a short video - bugged 3.2 first and Ok’sh 3.1 after:


The same bug for move and scale. But rotation works correctly

Hey man , yeah there i sa bug in 3.2 , like i said earlier , on 3. 2 , you need to hold the key ( G for example ) and drag …but still , it’s buggy and not as precise as before . I tied to find a similar addon with a screen gesture based , but no luck ,it’s the only one that does that. it’s driving me nuts . i even consider finding someone who could eventually fix the addon , because why there is a bug , it’s because they changed a small line ( i don’t know anything about scripting though ), the syntax is a little different .so it cause a bug .
Honestly i don’t even understand why this addon is not on the blender market , i would pay money for this .I look regularly here to see if there is some update but unfortunately with the war in Ukraine , Vlad is not available and obviously he has something else to do . so for now if i need to model something i stick to 3.1 …but since i use some stuff with the latest geometry nodes in 3.2 .i have to use 3.2 …even with the bug …we 'll see in the future

I suggest that everyone take a look at using Gizmo Pro.
I was able to transition quite successfully from that to that addon.

i have gizmo pro …it’s nice but it’s just a gizmo …advance transform is way better

Hello everybody,
I have very good news and not good news.

As you know Vlad currently lives in Ukraine. You know the recent events… I’ve contacted Vlad, he and his family are Ok. But it’s hard times for him to maintain his awesome addons. And it’s hard to say now when and if he will wish to do this again.

So I asked Kjell Emanuelsson @Kiellog to help with fixing Advanced Transform. Kjell kindly agreed to help and have restored the most essential functionality of the addon!

The current state of the tools for Blender 3.3.1:

  1. Move (G/W)
    LMB, RMB, MMB, Spacebar behavior - works
    Alt,Shift - need a fix

  2. Rotate (R/E)
    LMB - works
    RMB (step rotation) - need a fix

  3. Scale (S/R)
    LMB, RMB, MMB, Shift behavior - works
    Spacebar - need a fix

My deep gratitude and respect to Vlad and Kjell for creating and fixing this extremely usefull addon!

The addon has a base for working with UV. Perhaps Kjell Emanuelsson @Kiellog wants to bring this part to mind?

Cheers!
I had a look… but discovered something had gotten bugged with the regular Adv.Move (LMB)…so I fixed that instead :wink: (Didn’t work properly on very latest linux blender version, ymmv)

I then had a look at the UV part, I didn’t have much time, so it didn’t work, and I couldn’t get it to work, sorry! (perhaps not as crucial in the UV editor tho?)

hey guys ! just to let you know that sometimes i get this error , but no worries , i don’t know what it is , the addon don’t work when i get this …but i copy the objects on a new blender scene and it works again

That is strange. I can’t really reproduce, but it looks like it’s somehow in the wrong context… I’ve adressed some “possible” issues, don’t know if it is the cause. (Works the same for me) See if it helps. (I also bumped the version nr to 3.4, so we can all keep track…)

thanks for the reply man , well yeah i don’t know …but like i said , no worries , it just happens sometimes .;and if i just have to copy the model into a new blend file .;it’s not a big deal , i’m already happy that the addon work !! thanks again dude !

You’re the best, thanks man.

Edit*
I don’t know about y’all but is rotate with right mouse broken for you? It acts like it’ll work for a second for me and then exits. I guess something’s wrong with the modal?

If you mean step rotation on RMB, yes it needs a fix. I’m using keKit’s pie-menu StepRotate for this atm:

Very convenient tool!

Meanwhile, LMB rotation works without any problems.

@cuda @Antony There were some bigger issues with that mode that prob wont be fixed any time soon.
As reported here: Advanced Transform - #207 by Antony

Tip: In the meanwhile (since Antony mentioned it…), I’m currently trying out this mapping with steprotate in keKit, pretty nice so far:
(ofc use any shortcuts you prefer)

Ah that makes sense.

Thanks dudes. I’ll try this out!

hey guys ,hope you’re fine …well it seems the addon is broken again .on v 4:/

Yes, unfortunately :cry:
Let’s hope that Kjell or Vlad could find some time to make it v4 compatible
