Can some describe breifly the methods to create a custom Marking Menu?
I'm a bit confuzzled as to how to go about it.

What I which to have is a MMenu that would be my most used commands,e.g. move,scale,rotate,x-Ray,etrude poly,extude edge.

I know I can hotkey those(or they are hot-keyed most of them)but I would like to be able to access the options.
For instance the move tool:move components together-seperate for snap-to-grid operations.

If no one wants to explain it I guss I will figure it out.

Thanks.

No free boxes, its a big marking menu, at least none that I see

Was this feature taken out of version five

To make a marking menu for tool options you would have to find the mel script that calls the option and grag it to a shhelf

One way to find a mel command is to open the script editor and echo all commands

there should always be a free box.. at the bottom of the edit marking menu window there is a linear edit item box use that for moving around scripts.

wgreenlee1 for the move options if hold down the 'w' key and drag with the mouse you should see a marking menu with the options for that there

but to make MM what you have to do is. for example if you want to make a MM, what you have to do is this:

create a new shelf.
hold down Ctrl + Shift + .....e.g. 3dPaint Tool.
a picture will popup in the shelf.
do this for what else you'll need in your MM

if you want something that wont work with Ctrl + Shift then you have to do this:
Open your script editor and go to Script>Echo All Commands.
this will enable everything you do to a code.

for example, then go to Shading>Shade Options>Wireframe On Shaded
this will give you a code like this....

modelEditor -e -wos 0 modelPanel4;

Middle mouse drag that to the shelf and continue.

To make into a Marking Menu, go to your Marking Menu editor and create a new marking menu.
drag those scripts the shelf onto the empty boxes.
There should be a small test window to see it in at the bottom.

Once finished save it and under settings make sure it says Use Marking Menu in hotkey or whatever you want.

Go to your hotkey editor and assign a hotkey for it.

Simple.
