Hi and thank you for great addon! I have a question:
I’d like to share the same pie menu that calls for external .py scripts between two my machines, but paths to scripts are different due to Dropbox setup. Is it possible to use OS environmental variables in execute_script("")? So instead of execute_script("D:/Dropbox/script.py") I’d use something like execute_script("$BLENDER_SCRIPTS/script.py")
Try to add redraw_screen() function:
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT'); bpy.ops.wm.context_set_value(data_path="tool_settings.mesh_select_mode", value= "(True, False, False)"); redraw_screen()
Hi @Sergey_Kritskiy,
Yes, try something like this:
import os; execute_script(os.path.join(os.environ["BLENDER_SCRIPTS"], "script.py"))
That works, thanks!
On another note, could you add more entries in the ‘return active object type’ dropdown? Some of the names changed from 2.7x to 2.8x. Someone told me how to find out the object-type of Grease Pencil, so I figured it out, but it’d be nice if that listed every current type.
Is it possible to change the width of addons’ drop down menus added to header?
Yes, you can do this in Custom tab (UILayout docs):
row = L.row(align=True); row.scale_x = 1.5; row.prop(C.scene, "pdt_operate")
Added in PME 1.16.4
In PME 1.16.4 you can set ignore_area property depending on the current workspace.
Example for Outliner button (Command tab):
ignore_areas = {"3D / Shading": "ShaderNodeTree"}; ignore_area = ignore_areas.get(C.workspace.name, 'NONE'); bpy.ops.pme.sidearea_toggle(side='LEFT', action='TOGGLE', area='OUTLINER', width=350, ignore_area=ignore_area)
Thanks. Is it possible to get rid of the text in front?
Thank You! Where i find all names like “ShaderNodeTree” for other views?
Add text="":
row = L.row(align=True); row.scale_x = 1.5; row.prop(C.scene, "pdt_operate", text="")
Good question. Looks like there is no online info about this.
Here is the names:
Ok. I have tab like this: outliner-shader editor-3d view-properties
In Pie menu when i try to toggle outliner i have:
ignore_areas = {"3D / Shading": "ShaderNodeTree"}; ignore_area = ignore_areas.get(C.workspace.name, 'NONE'); bpy.ops.pme.sidearea_toggle(side='LEFT', action='TOGGLE', area='OUTLINER', width=350, ignore_area=ignore_area)
With this command outliner toggles only in 3d view. I want to toggle only on left side in shader editor.
What command i must use to toggle outliner/properties i this layout? So the shader editor and 3d view stays all the time but only outliner/properties ar show/hide?
You can use ShaderNodeTree area as a main_area in 3D / Shading workspace like this:
main_areas = {"3D / Shading": "ShaderNodeTree"}; main_area = main_areas.get(C.workspace.name, 'VIEW_3D'); bpy.ops.pme.sidearea_toggle(side='LEFT', action='TOGGLE', area='OUTLINER', width=350, main_area=main_area)
Hello!
Thank you very much for your addon.
I was tormented by the problem for a long time, it turned out that your addon causes it:
https://developer.blender.org/T70914
Can these be opened on mouse over like popovers or regular menus?
row = L.row(align=True); row.scale_x = 0.5; row.prop(C.scene, “pdt_operate”, text=“”)
Hi @dez1gner,
Both add-ons works for me. Please make sure that you use PME 1.16.4 and send me your PME menus.
Not sure, I’ll try to find some way.
Hi @roaoao,
Thanks for your great addon. One question can a sticky key finish a modal operator like brush radius scaling or scaling in general?
