keKit for Blender (2.8+)

Pies are only a very small part of what Pie Menu Editor does, and relevant to your post: it does macros!

RobertLe · February 7, 2022, 8:29pm

It has a macro recorder? Where?

JFYI

Hi @Kiellog, I’m getting some errors when trying to export the settings.

This one when I try to save from the side-panel

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):

I hope these can help you figure it out, because I’d love to move my settings to my new computer, and preferably not by hand

Kiellog · February 11, 2022, 10:55am

Which version of keKit are you using? (Those lines look old, and do not match the latest version. Make sure to overwrite all the old kekit files?)

Michael_Knubben · February 11, 2022, 11:58am

I’m on 1.459 on this computer. You’re saying updating might fix this? Just didn’t want to risk breaking anything in my setup before I export!

Kiellog · February 11, 2022, 12:02pm

Probably. You can always backup your “appdata” version folder first ;>

Does multicut support cut selected faces only?
Can’t get it to work like the kekit direct loop

Kiellog · February 12, 2022, 8:22am

No, not at the moment - you’d have to use the blender default method for now = hide unselected faces (and then run multicut)

@Kiellog
Hi!
What do you think about removing triangles after Context Connect face loop with Square Corners on?
in ke_contextops.py after line 794:

                bmesh.update_edit_mesh(me)
                
            if self.square:
                bpy.ops.mesh.select_more()
                bpy.ops.mesh.tris_convert_to_quads()
                bpy.ops.mesh.select_less()

or maybe as a additional checkbox to prevent some unexpected cases

Kiellog · February 12, 2022, 11:05am

Sure, I’ll have a look! Edit: Done, just had to add the one line ;>

impacman · February 12, 2022, 12:46pm

hi everyone! keorient pie doesnt work in aramture edit mode. is it bug or kinda something wrong on my side?

Kiellog · February 12, 2022, 9:32pm

Can confirm, looks like a bug, I’ll check it out.

Kiellog · February 13, 2022, 1:47pm

Reg. the filled curve Framing (in object mode, works in Edit Mode), it seems this is an issue with vanilla blender commands (Frame Selected) as well (and as I use them, not much I can do about it ;> Feel free to file a bug-report at BF tho!)

TLDR; will not fix

Antony · February 13, 2022, 7:25pm

Hmm… you’re right! It looks like the default Frame Selected has that bug. Thanks for checking this out!

Antony · February 14, 2022, 11:17am

A question and probably proposal for keKitt.
Lets say we have a “live” model with modifiers and booleans:

How would you place the 3D cursor straight between 2 faces?

We cant have access to them in Edit mode as long as the modifiers aren’t applied.

Is there a fast/efficient solution for that or an addon? I know one addon but it’s bugged for users who use Maya Alt-navigation.

impacman · February 14, 2022, 11:25am

i recommend to use modifreeze (with unfreezing after placing cursor) in such a case

Kiellog · February 14, 2022, 12:17pm

I don’t focus much on bool-modifier workflows as there are already a lot of add-ons for this (and I don’t really use such workflows myself) There should be add-ons with features for these things, as impacman suggested perhaps (I never heard of it ;> )

Antony · February 14, 2022, 6:14pm

Thank you for mentioning Modifreeze! I’ve never heard of it and the addon is quite interesting - I see a couple of use cases. Though using it for placing the 3D cursor isn’t so fast unfortunately:

freeze
enter edit mode
select 2 faces, place 3D cursor
return to object Mode
unfreeze

It’s almost the same amount of actions as known method:

duplicate the mesh with applied modifiers.
enter edit mode
select 2 faces, place 3D cursor
return to object mode
delete the mesh

A good solution could be:

activate a tool
select 2 faces, place 3D cursor
deactivate the tool

Prob some hotkeying + Pie-menuing could help…

Antony · February 14, 2022, 6:17pm

Well, I thought of it not as part of bool-modifier workflow but as part of your cursor tools and keSnapAling pie-menu

But if it isn’t interesting for you I can’t insist. Especially as there is already the addon, even bugged. I think a developer of the addon can fix it someday.
