Pie Menu Editor 1.18.7

[servapunk]

Thank you, its working now!

[Michael_Knubben]

Ah, shame I have to add a keymap (makes it harder to share my menus!), but thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try this out right away!

[Motiomancer]

Think I found a workaround.

I was trying to get different types of mask with the same keymap using shift,alt,ctrl (add/substract/smooth) and it seems adding the draw operator at the end does the trick

so:

Create Sticky Key

On press, add the mask brush from the menu

Save and Restore Previous Value

You should get this

After adding the draw operator:

value = paint_settings(C).brush; paint_settings(C).brush = D.brushes["Mask"]; bpy.ops.sculpt.brush_stroke('INVOKE_DEFAULT')

Now you can call the mask brush with alt and left mouse

---

Extra Options

If you want to customize different brush settings you can add them before the operator by taking them from the info panel in scripting

For example I want to smooth the mask at .5 strength

I will have to add
bpy.data.brushes[“Mask”].mask_tool = ‘SMOOTH’
bpy.data.brushes[“Mask”].strength = 0.5

and would look like this

value = paint_settings(C).brush; paint_settings(C).brush = D.brushes["Mask"]; bpy.data.brushes["Mask"].mask_tool = 'SMOOTH'; bpy.data.brushes["Mask"].strength = 0.5; bpy.ops.sculpt.brush_stroke('INVOKE_DEFAULT')

The only “but” from adding those it that it leaves the brush with those settings so every time I use the shortcut its going to change the brush to smooth and 0.5 strength

I’ll try this out and get back to you, but it sounds perfect. Thanks so much!

Edit: works like a charm!
Now to figure out if it’s possible to tell if the cursor’s over a mesh or over empty viewport… Do you know of any way?

[Motiomancer]

I’m guessing you would need a scrip that feeds information from the raycast but that’s out of my league, I just know the very basics.

In my case I just replaced the selection shortcuts with masking shortcuts in sculpt mode (lasso and box)

[Michael_Knubben]

I’m having issues with GP contexts overriding eachother. @Motiomancer: pinging you, because you seem like you understand PME to a much higher degree than I do!

So, what’s the issue I’m trying to solve:
I’m creating my own Tab menus to switch modes. I’ve succesfully set this up for other modes, but with Grease Pencil I’m having a lot of trouble.

First off: adding my menu on ‘Clickdrag’ overrides the default Tab behaviour

so: I added a Stack Key to toggle to Draw from Object mode,

and to Object Mode from all others.

Problem being, this works for everything except Draw Mode
I’ve tried a whole bunch of different configurations, and just can’t arrive t a working solution that doesn’t somehow ruin something else (like overwriting the menus I have for meshes…)

Edit: another example of what I’ve tried:

So, this works to go from all Edit Modes to Object with a press of TAB:

Except, when I now enable this to get TAB to go to Draw from Object Mode…

It doesn’t work!
They’re getting in eachothers ways I guess, but I don’t know what to do.

Hi there, does interactive panel work for anybody with blender 2.93? When i click “interactive panel” in addon settings nothing happens. I also don’t find this in command with “menu serach”

[Michael_Knubben]

This is probably because of the Python changes in 2.93. Haven’t yet tried running PME in it myself, but lots of addons are affected!

[theApe]

Yeah, for once I´m not jumping on the nightlies, sticking on stable release. It´ll be at least a month before we see large addon support for 2.93.

[Motiomancer]

You could try giving a more specific context to the menus

instead of asking for a gpencil object

return C.active_object and C.active_object.type == 'GPENCIL'

gpencil object and in object mode

return C.active_object and C.active_object.type == 'GPENCIL' and C.active_object.mode == 'OBJECT'

gpencil object and not in object mode

return C.active_object and C.active_object.type == 'GPENCIL' and C.active_object.mode != 'OBJECT'

Other than that its about troubleshooting the menus, maybe disable all of them and start re enabling the tab ones to see which ones are in conflict

Hi. Trying to create shortcuts to new windows like shader editor:

bpy.ops.pme.popup_area(area=‘ShaderNodeTree’, auto_close=False)

It works but try to save your scene with that window opened ( in my case on second display ). You’ll never see it again. It’ll crash Blender immediately after opening.

Hi,
Wondering if someone can help please.
I have added a list of my favorite modifiers to a pie menu (works great) however I’d like for the modifiers menu to open (or the ui to switch to the modifiers tab) when adding the modifier.
I know nothing about coding a simple explanation would be great.

I tried this: bpy.ops.object.modifier_add(type=‘SUBSURF’),bpy.context.space_data.context = ‘MODIFIER’
I just added the second part after the bracket (got it from “info” tab) hoping it would work…It didn’t
Thanks
Ivan.

For powerful modifier management you can also check out Modifier List. I particularly love the on-screen pop-up menu with a complete modifier UI.

[Michael_Knubben]

Again, exactly what I needed. I didn’t even know it was possible to use multiple statements here, or how to combine them. Thanks a lot!

[Motiomancer]

Try using the default header

bpy.ops.pme.popup_area(area='ShaderNodeTree', header='DEFAULT')

[Zelfor]

…

For me it didn’t work …
but I have to say that I made a complex combination.

For each type of object has the same shortcut (Ctrl + D)
Object Mode and Edit Mode

On top of that there is the combination of (Stack Key + Pie Menu)

If I {press} (Ctrl + D) make the Subdivide command
If I {hold} (Ctrl + D) make the Subdivide command

Subdivide - Object Mode = Curve

.

Subdivide Pie Menu - Object Mode = Curve

.

Thanks Metin.

Is it possible to populate the ui side panel group with common commands? I can’t seem to add the vertex, edge, face commands from theemu to the ui side panel.

Also this panel can’t be added in anyway to a regular menu or side panel group?

[StroBlend]

Unfortunately no this panel is hard coded and we can’t have any access to it

Hello guys.Do you have any idea how to use the central point of the pie menu as an additional sot?
Take the standard “Shading” menu below for example.
If we could use its middle part as another slot, it could be a great place for the operator “view3d.toggle_shading” (in this case), so we would have both: the entire pie menu and a quick switch between last two shading modes used, assigned to the same hotkey.
What do you think about it?
