Note: When object has been dimension-ed it cannot be point edited. add to dimension page

Should I remove the Obj NAV / Enter edit mode / Uneditable script?

.
If I do, and you PE the object, the Dimensions are not correct

If you set Mesh Editor Settings, Auto triangulation to None and only change the shape without adding or removing any geometry the dimension can be updated by pressing the Regenerate All in the Dimensions, Utilties aspect and the dimension will update.

If you remove the script then I'm guessing the red toolbar Uneditable scripts won't work. I was thinking a warning or question would work instead of stopping it.

Not sure how to write that or what to do if you answer Yes
I could put a status message and open the Dimensions panel

When you add a dimension, the mesh object gets a "MeasureNode". So for your Uneditable widget script I would do something like this.

Widgets/Select/Default object navigation widget/Enter edit mode/Uneditable

Code: Select all

	//if(Node.Exists(Node.FirstSelected() + '/MeasureNode')) {
	//	params.SetTerminationFlag()
	//	return
	//}
	if(Node.Exists(Node.FirstSelected() + '/MeasureNode')) {
		if(!System.Question("This object has a Dimension. If you point edit this item the dimension may be damaged. Proceed anyway?")) {
			params.SetTerminationFlag()
		}
		return;
	}

You could also add more text. Something like
"This object has a Dimension assigned to it. To edit a dimensioned object you must set the Mesh Editor Settings to 'None' and do not add or remove any geometry from the mesh. If you point edit this item the dimension may be damaged. Proceed anyway?"

Thanks, I will add something like this because I do not understand setting Mesh Editor Settings to 'None'

Looks like this script only takes into account the first selected!
Is there any way to update this script to include multiple selected items?

Panel appears when you enter point edit mode and you know what, I may be wrong about setting it. The changing triangles may not effect the point indices. I'll test that.
I'll have to get back to you on the multiple selections. Should be doable.

Here is the multiple selections change
Widgets/Select/Default object navigation widget/Enter edit mode/Uneditable

Bug fix for the Dimensions. The Regenerate All was giving an error because of the material changes in the code.

Scripts/CustomCommands/Dimensions

I also tested Auto triangulation with the default "On release". Show triangles option was also checked so I could see the triangle changes. The result is that the triangles changed and the regenerate dimensions still worked. So no need for Auto triangulation being set to None.

not documented - rectangle select works on the object bounding box not the actual visible mesh

[trueBlue]

Rectangle Select
Note: The only label set to Divisions is "Inside Rectangle"
I do not think it is possible to set Divisions to anything other than 0, 1, 24
Otherwise Ray Tracing gets unchecked including Inside Rectangle and Partially Inside Rectangle
Removed due to update

Just noticed the RectSlect panel has a Exp aspect
Probably need to recreate the panel from scratch
