Looking for a Simple Pivot script

[gloupi]

Hi leejamesclark,

i knew that works with older max version.
That is a thing a never use, but i tried to reDo it.So:

-With snap to vertex or whatever you want.
-Toggle pivot : on Transform Coordinate center/Selection center
-select some verices, lock it (space).
-you would see the blue snap cusor when over vertex.
if you see it you can Rotate or Scale about that point.
Use axis constrain to choose your axis, because gizmo is elsewhere.

i hope it help, even if it is a bit later.Actually didn t known any script that do it.Perhaps it is possible to make it simply as a macro, which locks the vertex and activate the snap.

try this:

macroScript SnapsTransform
category:"XTools"
toolTip:"Locks selection and acive snaps,with pivot center.To rotate/scale about a vertex"
(
actionMan.executeAction 0 "59231"
if not(snapMode.active) then max snap toggle
toolmode.SelectionCenter()
)


:thumbsup:
