Gumball relocation to bounding box corners, with ALIASes ... Possible?

Imagine i select that square block.
With a Specific Alias, I would like to relocate the gumball to the top right corner
with another alias, maybe to the bottom left corner, etc… etc…

Perhaps the scripts posted by @Gijs in this topic may help?

Wish: Create a "Scale box" tool

While the “BoxEdit” tool is handy for some operations, I often find it too slow and limited due to the lack of ability to snap to other geometry in the scene. In my opinion, Rhino lacks a proper, more direct tool to enable editing the size of objects via the mouse and capable to snap to other geometry. This is why I propose a new too called “Scale box”, whose purpose is to fill the gap between “BoxEdit” and “PushPull”. “PushPull” works great on simple geometry, but it can’t be used properly on …

thank you Bobi,

yes, the two script

set_gumball_max.py (503 Bytes)
set_gumball_min.py (503 Bytes)

are doing what I need, except I cannot choose right or left alignment.

I would put this functionality on RH9 wishlist

If you notice, my initial proposal in that other topic is about having “bounding box scale handles” that could be used to scale the object directly depending on which handle is used. It’s super convenient. Combined with Osnap, that becomes the best possible way to scale the selection to fit between other objects.

I can see that very useful for architectural projects that rely on walls and other boxy shapes.
