Awesome work, your progress gets even better each time.

Here I am trying to create a new curve, though it automatically joins the other two and interpolates.

Sometimes this is very desired especialy when you want to blend two curves. This time I want to place a brand new curve without any interferrence.

You can press Ctrl+Z after creating the new curve to make it separate.

It has been a lot of time since my last visit in this thread. Is there any implementation of booleans in the add-on Khemadeva?

Not at the moment. I’m busy with some personal things. So not sure when I can work on this.
Will try and update you.

I tend to think that the addon should have these options by default:

  • Display Orientation / Origin Axis disabled
  • Display Keymap enabled

Displaying hotkeys on the viewport is very useful for new users of the addon.

Is it possible to normalize a spline with this addon? I mean equalizing the length of segments wile keeping the shape. If not can this be added as a new feature? Thanks!

Is there a way to insert a spline vert/knot where your mouse is hovered over? I was trying to figure that out, but didn’t see anything immediately.

You can press Ctrl+LMB to insert a point at any location on the curve.

This may not be possible since the connecting segments of a free Bezier points are totally independent of each other and thus the point can’t be merged / dissolved. An approximation, however, is possible whereby the shape would change slightly (get smoothed out) at the knots but other places it will remain intact.
Right now I am unable to work on this add-on due some issues on personal front. Will let you know if there’s any progress.

Thanks for reply! I also found an older addon that you can get inspiration from https://gist.github.com/zeffii/5796615
I wish you all the best and good health!

Nice addon Thanks it’s great :slight_smile: do you plain to use curve for boleean operation in the future ?

Hi Khemadeva!

First of all, fantastic add-on, I wouldn’t mind to pay for it for sure.

I have a little problem though. Setting the handle type doesn’t seem to work for me.
When I go into “Flexi Edit Bezier” mode and hover over a handle, then I press “S” and select any of the handle types, it has no effect on the handle.

Any idea what could be causeing this?

I am using Blender 2.83 todays release.

Cheers

Thank you for the nice feedback :slight_smile:

Did you check this video: https://youtu.be/xspU6_qiPPE
Also, for one user, who had a similar problem the problem got fixed it by upgrading to Windows 10.
Are you using an earlier version of Windows by any chance?

Yes, it is on the plan. But not sure when I will get the time to work on it.

Addon version: 0.9.93
Blender version: 2.82a

I just created this shape with Flexi Draw Bezier:

And when I pressed TAB, I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “E:\blender\blender_official\2.82\scripts\startup\bl_operators\wm.py”, line 1681, in execute

location: :-1

From the traceback, this does not seem to be related to Flexi Tool. You may want to check if there is any other add-on active, which intercepts the TAB event.
