Selection Tool Icons Gone in Hex 2? - Polyloop

BluesDragon · 4th May 2006, 07:17

In Hexagon 1.2 there were icons for converting selections and growing/shrinking selections.

I can't find these icons in Hex 2. Have they been deleted from the Hexagon 2.0 interface or just moved? I know the menu still has them and the grow/shrink keyboard shortcuts work.

Thanks,

Steve

Right click menu, under "advanced selection".

Ahhhh, thanks... not as easy and fast as it used to be, 3 clicks instead of 1.

I liked being able to just click quickly on the button multiple times to grow/shrink the selection, but I guess I will adapt or program the key combo on my Nostromo N50.

Thank you for the quick response !

Now if I can just find the set pivot tool

Cheers,

Steve

BluesDragon, can you post the config file for your n50? I would like to use mine as well!

yes, shortcuts are the key!

I am still doing some reconfigurations to it for Hex2. I wll post the configuration as soon as I am happy with it.

I am also considering purchasing another Nostromo N52 and giving the N50 to my roommate. The N52 has some additional advantages the N50 does not. If I do, I will configure and post that cfg file too.

Cheers,

Right clic on the Manipulator (when you highlight one of its component)

Just a clarification of Thomas' comment...

Select the object of interest, then right click pretty much anywhere (except on the manipulator) and the set pivot is #2 of the popup menu.

oups, on the manipulator, it's for the manipulator orientation, not setpivot... sorry for my mistake!

Thank you Miles, it makes sense now. I can't believe I missed it there!

NP Thomas, but I thought I would go blind looking for it there on the UM.

Cheers,

You guys must be using different software to me. I dont get any right click popup (just a selection lasso or rectangle) and no advanced selection in my selection menu.. on a PC still looking for the set pivot tool .....

go to edit/preference editor/user interface/generic and select right mouse button for context menu.

Ha Ha ..You know everything Grendel - you are the master

( I confess... I find I not "double clicking" rmb fast enough. I must take up playing piano to get fit for H2
