QuickGrid for all platforms
Hi all,
Thanks to some help and suggestions by Andy, I've made quickgrid available for all AC3D platforms. Here is the link: http://bellsouthpwp.net/a/t/atomicd/quickgrid.zip QuickGrid allows you to set the AC3D grid resolution without you needing to go to the File | Settings... menu. This is now a TCL script that you simply drop into your AC3D "scripts" folder/directory. Here's a brief description from the readme.html file included with the distribution: Description Displays a set of 9 buttons on a tool window, with each button containing a major and minor grid size. Clicking a button on the tool window sets the AC3D grid to the associated Major / Minor grid size. For example, if the button is labeled "1 / 0.5", then clicking this button will set AC3D's major grid (Draw grid major) to 1.0 units and the minor grid (Draw grid minor (snap)) to 0.5 units. The values in the quickgrid window may be changed by editing the quickgrid.tcl script in the AC3D "scripts" directory. Note that any changes made to this file will not be registered until AC3D restarts. Installation Copy the quickgrid.tcl file (included with this distribution) to your AC3D scripts folder (for example, if using Windows, C:\Program Files\AC3D5\scripts) and (re)start AC3D. Changing the button values To change the values to suit your own preferences, look for these lines in the quickgrid.tcl script: Code:
set gmaj { 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 4 } set gmin { 0.0125 0.0250 0.0500 0.1000 0.1250 0.2500 0.5000 1.0000 2.0000 } NOTE: You must have the same number of values in both rows. Enjoy |
