Wish: named / saved transformations

[Tom_P]

I would love to see an option, that would allow all commands that do (single / multiple) matrix-based transformations (rotate,mirror,move, shear, array(polar), scale1/2/3, …and some more

to save the transformation(s) - so it can be repeated or even combined / inverted.
the saved versions should include copy yes / no, and the recall should allow to override this.

Maybe this option can be turned on / off in some global settings.

Of course the transformations should be saved within the document.

The use scenarios are endless:

(a)
modelling an object with any kind of axis symmetry independent of current c-plane
@Rhino_Bulgaria

(b)
In landscape design or architecture it is often necessary to draw closer to the origin, but export in project coordinates. This transformation could be saved and inverted

(c)
If symmetry is rotary, for example designing a clock

(d)
designing 3d-patterns like a soccer-ball cut pattern…(saved from orient3Pt…)

… many more…

looking for commands and for

you get the emojis by typing:

another topic / issue that would be solved with this idea - in my opinion:

Oh God. Please remove this regression or let me turn it off

Hi McNeel team, This is the most stupid thing I’ve seen implemented in Rhino a long time: [capture_gf_112822AM_211223] As a customer, I never want to see this. I only want to see my last numerically input value. Not only you are flushing from memory my last numeric input, but you are also now showing me the numeric value of something that was never meant to be a numeric input. This is just dumb. It needs to go away ASAP. G PS: I do not want to argue with the very rational, eloquent, contr…

seems like there are similar ideas , or ideas that can be integrated to one bigger approach regarding transformations:

Wish: Copy/Move to a target CPlane

@Rhino_Bulgaria Dear Bobi - i agree that _remapCplane does not have the best interface. I use it a lot. please notice, that if you use the “cplane”-option, next dialog asks “Name of Cplane to map To” for this option, you don t need to type the name - just click on the name of the cplane in the namedcplane Panel. it s a pity - that nobody comment on my topic / wish: named transformations which could include some of your wishes kind regards - tom

Tom_P, there is work being done in this concept, targeted for 8.x.

@Japhy thanks - great to read.
wow. cool.
would be nice to have it in the import / export-options as well.
“import with transformation”
“export with transformation”
let me know as so there is something to look at (in the WIP) and give feedback.

kind regards - tom
