v1.6

2023-11-10

  • add ToggleRegion tool
    • a single T keymap to toggle Toolbar T-Panel, Sidebar N-Panel, and asset shelf/browser depending on mouse position on the screen
      • NOTE: the new asset shelf is not very useful in Blender 4.0 yet, so toggling that is disabled by default, but can be enabled and used, if desired
      • more interesting is toggling a new asset browser area at the top or bottom of the 3d view
        • it will remember the previously chosen library and catalog_id as well as all asset browser settings
          • such as thumbnail_size, import_method, filter choices and filter search term, as well as header alignment

        • an asset browser can then be closed not only with the mouse in the 3d view, but with the mouse in center of the asset browser too, as if it were a region, not an area
          • with the mouse towards the sides of the asset browser, you can toggle the library/catalog selection or active asset details, also just via a T press

    • CursorSpin basically just fixes Blender's native Spin operator

      • while the spin center is properly initiated from the cursor location, the axis isn't
      • the only way to use Blender's spin op is using the Spin tool, which does it properly

    • Keymap
      • ensure CTRL + B bevel keymap uses OFFSET
      • change SHIFT + CTRL + B vert bevel keymap to edge percent bevel instead
        • you can easily do vert bevels using SmartVert, or regular bevels switched to vert via V in the modal
        • switching mode using M in the modal is cumbersome however, hence the extra keymap
      • force bevel keymap profile of 0.6
      • this is helpful when alternating between Smart Edge Offset Edges, which forces a profile of 1

  • Tools pie
    • fix issue when not in Object or EDIT_MESH modes

      • when disabling uv_sync_selection, sync edit mesh mode to to uv select mode (EDGE to EDGE, VERT or FACE to VERT)
        • the idea being, there is little reason being in face mode when turning off selection sync:
          • faces - being present only once in uv space - can just as well be transformed with sync enabled
          • the most likely scenario is, you'd want to edit vertices or edges, because unlike faces, they are present multiple times in uv space
    • fix edge mode icon
  • Workspace pie
    • sync all(most?) shading and overlay properties to .alt workspaces
  • Transform pie
    • use NORMAL orientation for Individual and Active presets, when in EDIT_ARMATURE mode

  • Customize
    • set overlay.wireframe_threshold to 0.99 instead of the default 1

      • useful for hiding the internal edges on MEShmachine's plug handles
