Workaround or fix for broken Weightpaint navigation?

Post by Tiles »

When i click the Weight Paint Tool, then select a bone i can weightpaint the mesh.When i click at a navigation button then i can rotate or move my view to reach other vertices. The mode stays in Weightpaint mode for that. But then there is no way to go back to weightpaint mode. Means in real i cannot reach my missing vertices that way. What`s broken here in 7.61B8 is the right click to leave the navigation mode to go back to weightpaint mode. Right click leaves the weightpaint mode completely instead. And that means in my case that i have to navigate back to select my bone. But then i am trapped again. Because i would need to navigate to the vertices then ...

Is there a workaround or a fix available for this bug?

Thanks, but no, it isn`t. I have this patch already installed. Weightpaint was completely broken before. That is fixed. This little nagger here unfortunately not :)

Okay, have some workaround. Scrollwheel zooms out and in. Middle Mouse Button rotates. And holding down CTRL+ Middle mouse button moves. That one was what i was missing. Move.

That`s maybe even the better workflow. I was used to navigate while weightpaint with clicking the navigation buttons, move/rotate/zoom to my needs, then right click to leave. That`s why i was a bit in trouble here ...

Ooops... when you Right click while using the Move and Camera tools they are deactivated. This is of course if you installed the unofficial patch. Errrrr...solve one problem create another. I always use the Background widget.
