🕑 Added 2021-01-10 00:32:08 +0000 UTCThis addon for blender adds some special functionality for positioning objects.
Features:
1.Includes a script to position an object along an axis between two objects
2.Placement of the 3D cursor on a plane in the center of the circle using three points. Cursor rotation will also be directed at normal
3.Placing origin by 2 edges. The first edge defines X and Y axes, second for Z axis.
4.Virtual axis tool. Allows to place objects between any two points with the ability to select an axis.
Installation:
In Blender "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Add-ons" -> "Install" and select "AdditionalAlignTools.zip"
Using:
In 3d view press combination Ctrl+Alt+S (you can change combination in "Keymap"->"3d view" ) it will open pie menu. For object and edit modes has different tools.
In object mode available "Along axis btw 2 obj". This function requires 3 selected objects. the last of selected objects will be located along an axis formed by the centers of other 2 objects.
In edit mode available "Cursor to circle center by 3 points". This function requires 3 selected vertices which are part of a circle. Cursor wil be placed in center with rotation by normal even if the circle is not complete.
"Origin by 2 edges" requires 2 selected edges. Places origin on center of first edge. First edge will define X and Y axes and last defines Z axis. Edges may not be connected to each other. And the face for defining the Z axis may not be perpendicular.
Under testing:
"Virtual axis tool" After activating the tool, move mouse over any object and you will see a point and three axes. When you press Ctrl, dots will appear indicating the vertices. Move mouse over a point or axis and it will highlight. The points can be selected by pressing LMB, they will turn green. By selecting one point, you can only select another point and a new axis will appear, or deselect previous. If the points belonged to the same object then you can use the new axis to position along it. When the axis is highlighted, you can roll the mouse wheel to change the number of dots separating the axis.
RMB or Esc to exit.
