 | 3 Layout Tools for simplifing certain task inside LW. AddRot++ - Allows you to add rotation to the current selected objects Custom Rotation - Rotates Objects around predefined Center Scale Distance - Scales the distance not the objects itself
|
Due to the fact, there were slight changes to the LayoutTool class iin the last view versions, I decided to make this 9.3.1 only (sorry for this)
All tools work on the primarly viewport axis only . and do use the right mouse button for larger step sies (as for AddRotation and Custom Rotation: 1 Degree)
All tools ignore autokey off.  AddRotation++, this tool is mainly a replacement for LightWaves own Add Rotation (wich only works on the first selected object):
 Allows you to rotate one / several objects around a custom center: Wit h or without keeping the original rotation.
Origin: Either a custom origin (by entering a value or dragging the cross indicating the center) or the average position of all pivots.
Method: (Either keep current rotation of the object, or rotate it (can result to unexpected results with child objects)
Popup: For quick assigning an object pivot as rotation center
Apply: For entering a numeric value / apply it to the selected object (similar behaviour like modelers tools)
 Allows you to scale the distance between different objects (without scaling the objects itself), most of the functions / behavior are similar to Custom Rotation.
Method: Stretch allows you to manualy scale into the wo visibe viewport direction (ZX for top view etc...) Stretch Flat Keeps the proportions in the ZX axis while scaling Scale: Scales in all three axis
