suggestions for dimensions

[mirlip]

Hi, First of all, awesome job guys! The last fix worked like a charm, thank you. The new non-modal transform is really much better than previously. The dimensions are really well designed and pretty intuitive to use. But it is hard to read the text sometime. Would it be possible to:

• have the possibility to display those dimensions in object mode
• allow to customize the font (add it's own category into the theme to change the size, color) would really help.
• have the text more outside or to make a hole in the line where the number is displayed to make it more readable. Regards

Thanks for your comments ;)

• It's on plan, to have a section on 3D view properties with a flag to show all dimensions on object mode,or only the selected object.
• It's a good a place to set all this customizations.
• This will be settings that will be set in same place that 2)

PD: note that dimension information is saved on .blend file with mesh data. This means that if the file is opened and saved with a different binary (not from this project) dimension data will be loose. Also be careful as it's on development, and should not be considered stable, but is good to have people testing/using it ;)

Thank you for your quick answer ;) Can't wait :)

Hi Mauge, Nice :) Compiling on windows gives following errors: blender\source\blender\modifiers\intern\MOD_fluidsim_util.c(218): error C2198: 'CDDM_new' : too few arguments for call Note that it does this error for all modifiers and for smoke.c

277f5f6dbf1f4585eab1deded1e34c7dc465c01a should ammend it, if it was the only issue.

I've have not detected because i'm working on a really basic setting (all possible is disabled). I've changed the way it was done, as the function may be used around, and can due to future compiler errors not detected if something is disabled.

Thanks!

I'll try to set up a more complete setting for testing this issues.

Thanks!

It compiles without player, and show dimensions work. But show dimensions on selected doesn't work. I also tried to duplicate (shift-D) a cube with dimentions (visible in object mode), entered edit mode on this copy, modified the dimension, then hit tab to go back to object mode and it crashed.

Show dimensions on selected works for me, but maybe is unclear, as show dimensions must be selected also.

Commited a fix solving crash related to duplicate.

Thanks!

Thanks for the fix. For the selection only view, maybe call it restrict to selected object and make it greyed out when view selected is not activated?

Edit: Better open a new ticket for it
