Multiple scalar to coordinate

[mariolino]

hello Daniel

I would like to ask you because I would really need it, the possibility of setting the coordinates from the scalars, not like now that you have to do one coordinate at a time, but like you did recently for the normals, where a box is proposed and in a few steps you can assign all coordinates. I use it a lot because I do calculations between the scalars and calculate new coordinates which I then need to assign!

thanks
Mariolino

That's now done!

You can test that in the latest 2.13.beta version.

Mind however that it will only work if you select one entity at a time.

Thank you Daniel, many thanks, it works very well !!!

hello Daniel,
is it possible to extend the functionality of ‘set SFs as coords’ with the possibility of directly imputing in X,Y,Z a real number (in addition to the possibility of choosing a scalar) to be assigned directly to all coordinates, it is very useful for speeding up certain tasks such as flattening a cloud on a plane with z assigned, for example.
Thank you
Mario

Ah, that would be more logically be done in two steps (first create a 'constant' SF, and the map it to the coordinate).

But to flatten out a cloud, it's maybe faster to use 'Edit > Multiply / Scale' and set 0 for the dimension to flatten. And then you can 'translate' the cloud if you want to shift it to a particular Z value for instance.

Another system is with the 4x4 matrix to put the 3.3 member at 1e-20. Then apply a translation with the 3,4 member .

I am already using all these methods......
The fastest thing would be to do it directly from ‘set SFs as coords’ ......
Thank you very much from now on if you get a chance to implement it ....
Thanks
Mario
