Is there a one-click method to change the origin of the Gumball?
It seemed that if press some key combination and drag the dot in the center, that it could move the origin.
To flatten things, I often selecting groups of SubD polygons, do a SetPt to flatten them, and use a 2D rotate rotate, but it would be nice to rotate them while in a 3D view.
[The smooth function cannot, as written, cannot flatten these out.]
(gee, I hope that’s fireworks outside, anyway…)
You can double click the dot in the center of Gumball with the left mouse button to quickly adjust the origin of the Gumball,
I often flatten faces or vertices with the gumball. Double click to re-orient the gumball and scale with factor 0
That would only work if you wanted to flatten axially.
Is there a way to make the center dot larger?
(Thank you.)
Have you looked at the gumball settings in the options yet?
Yes, but they are a bit inscrutable, and I don’t see anything that applies.
I’m not at my computer but here’s the screenshot about scale handles.
Not sure how to change the size of the origin… have you checked under appearance?
I need to make the round dot, which is the the center of rotation, larger.
At 4K, it ain’t big.
no way to change the origin scale, you can change all the other handles tho.
you can make an alias for relocating the gumball in v8, (gumballrelocate) I have mine set to gr
in v9 you will likely be able to make this an instant 1 key alias. ( i am running this in v9 at the moment I’m assuming this feature will stay but it’s early yet in the dev cycle)
Please fix it in V8. The dot scale is too small for 4K.
Even your future fix, would seem not to fix it. : (
This is how big the dot is at 4K. No, it’s not not all easy to double click on that.
filed your request-
RH-83951 setting for making gumball origin dot larger
I’d like to see a setting to make the white circle thicker too, because that and the plane currently don’t get any of the width/thickness settings applied to them (also the dashed line for the scaling handles does look weird at higher thicknes settings too).
The gumball center size is currently tied to the display modes control point size setting. It’s meant to look like a control point.
would be nice to control that independently
Well, that’s something, not exactly intuitive, but something.
Thank you.
I bumped up the size, and now the fix is working for me. Thank you.
[When I edit SubD’s, because the Smooth function cannot straighten or mitigate offset of nodes between two points–I frequently place a temporary point at the end-node, flatten the (traverse) nodes to the other end node–and then rotate the nodes back to the placed point, before that is deleted. Them, it seems that I also need to do the same on the other non-longitudinal (transverse) plane.]
