Mesh Editor VL

[DiMiX]

Hi all,
two things:
-is there a possibility to add LASSO MODE for points selection?
In some (mapping) scenario the endless drawing rectangles could be really tedious task.
-how to patch persistent version of point editor? To use old PointEditorWriter I can get points data from VL module, but from where I can get cluster data?
PointEditorWriter.v4p (29.8 KB)

hey dimix, you speak in riddles…

your title says “Mesh Editor VL” but there isn’t such a thing. b36 comes with MeshEditor (EX9) which allows you to load/save .x files and allows standard marquee selection of nodes. are you refering to that?

what do you mean with “lasso mode”?
and PointEditor (2d/3d) shipping with b36 both allow you to save/load points. so what are you using an “old PointEditorWriter” for? and what do you mean with “cluster data”?

hey joreg,
yes - I’m referring to MeshEditor (EX9) with VL node inside

I can’t VL and asking if possible to add lasso tool for selection

[cocoa - Algorithm to implement a lasso selection tool? - Stack Overflow](http://Algorithm to implement a lasso selection tool)

In old betas we had PointEditor (3D Persistent) where you could save beside X file the session itself (via PointEditorWriter) with *.VPE file. It just found this workflow more flexible especially if you have multiple sessions/rehearsals etc. Now if I want to save temp changes/version I always need to rename X file. Otherwise I overwrite X file and have no option - revert to saved. And that’s is quite sensitive cause there is no UNDO for editing in the Renderer.

hope it’s a bit more clear now.
Thanks

ok, such a lasso tool is a good idea, certainly doable, but nothing promised as to when it would be implemented.

@DiMiX

n old betas we had PointEditor (3D Persistent) where you could save beside X file the session itself (via PointEditorWriter) with *.VPE file.

if you’re looking for the functionality of previous PointEditor (3D Persistent) then simply take PointEditor (3d) now, which can save/load the data to .xml files.

@DiMiX

And that’s is quite sensitive cause there is no UNDO for editing in the Renderer.

have you tried ctrl+z (undo) ctrl+shift+z? those are actually available for all new editors!

[DiMiX]

saving/reading xml works. Thanks!
but Undo - not working. neither ctrl+z, nor over menu.

[joreg]

undo not working is odd. can you try this on another pc?

for full listing of functionality see: https://vvvv.org/documentation/editing-framework

[DiMiX]

UNDO is working. I’ve found that the renderer should be focus/active to take effect of shortcut ctrl+z.
the UNDO menu command is responsable for actions inside UI only and can’t be used for points editing.
thanks.
