At the moment of this writing many of these functions aren't included by default in regular distributions on Blender.org, so i've coded scripts to perform a few of the main features that I missed most. - -My scripts have shortnames: `VTX, V2X, XALL, BIX, CCEN` and are described separately in sections below. `Fillet` and `Offset` are written by zmj100 and can be found [here](http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?179375). - - -Since I started this repository: Vertex Fillet / Bevel was added to master. So no more need for a separate addon. (Ctrl+Shift+b) - -### VTX - -The VTX script has lived in contrib distributions of Blender since 2010, with relatively minor changes. The feedback from BlenderArtists has been [overwhelmingly positive](http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?204836-CAD-Addon-Edge-Tools-(blender-2-6x)). I'm not going to claim it's bug free, but finding any showstopping issues has proven difficult. It now performs V, T or X selection automatically. - -Expect full freedom of orientation, but stuff must really intersect within error margins (`1.5E-6` = tolerance). These kinds of functions are handy for drawing construction lines and fixing up geometry. - - - V : extending two edges towards their _calculated_ intersection point. -  - - - T : extending the path of one edge towards another edge. -  - - - X : two edges intersect, their intersection gets a weld vertex. You now have 4 edges and 5 vertices. -  - - -- Select two edges -- hit `Spacebar` and type `vtx` ..select `autoVTX` -- Bam. the rest is taken care of. - - -### X ALL - -Intersect all, it programatically goes through all selected edges and slices them all using any found intersections, then welds them. - - - XALL is fast! -  - - Select as many edges as you want to intersect. - - hit `spacebar` and type `xa` ..select `XALL intersect all edges` - -### V2X (Vertex to Intersection) - -This might be a niche accessory, but sometimes all you want is a vertex positioned on the intersection of two edges. Nothing fancy. - -### BIX (generate Bisector) - -Creates a single edge which is the bisect of two edges. - - -### CCEN (Circle Centers) - -Given either - -- two adjacent edges on the circumference of an incomplete circle -- or three vertices (not required to be adjacent) - -this operator will places the 3d cursor at original center of that circle. - - - -updated version may become a modal operator to generate a full set of circle vertices, with variable vertex count. - - - -### E2F (Extend Edge to Selected Face, Edge 2 Face) - -Select a single Edge and a single Polygon (ngon, tri, quad) within the same Object.

I don't update Blender as often as some so am oblivious to the slow evolution. -- If you can make a valid argument for extra functionality and it seems like something I might use or be able to implement for fun, it's going to happen. -- I'm always open to pull requests (just don't expect instant approval of something massive, we can talk..you can use your gift of persuasion and sharp objectivism) |
