Absolute Move [new option - RMB] (Updated: 2014/May/27)

[micheus]

This new option act like a mix of snap and intersect: we can move elements along a axis (intersect) and preserving the elements offset (snap).

It's also an operation that Arg Arg had asked me for a way to make it possible. So, I'll link one of his pictures about the problem:



Thanks to Arg Arg, Nova and Fonte Boa for your ideas and comments in the "backstage".

You can use the File->Install Plugin option to install it: wpc_absolute_move.tar (it's possible you need to restart Wings3d)
* It's always a good idea make a backup of this file before replace it.

It is working fine here, Micheus: thanks.

I'm getting access denied when I try and install the plugin. Is it not compatible with manifoldlabs version?

[Nova]

Nevermind. I got it to work now, I was just being an idiot. Tool worked like a charm, Micheus, thank you so much!

No problem.
If Wings3d is installed under "Program Files" folder you will always run it as admin in order to be able to install any plugin.
