Draft Edit improvements

[carlopav]

We could actually change that to use ActiveView.getObjectsInfo() that returns all the objects under the mouse, and look if an edit poin is in that list.

I'll give it a try!

ActiveView.getObjectsInfo() that returns all the objects under the mouse, and look if an edit poin is in that list.

Seems like the list returned by getObjectsInfo() ignore the editpoints... could this be possible or am i mistaking something?

Hmm it might be indeed... We need to look at the code and check for differences between getObjectInfo and getObjectsInfo.

Another idea, if not possible to depend on getObjectsInfo: We do our own routine:

- take the point returned by getObjectInfo, no matter which object was clicked
- take the view direction (ortho cameras) or a vector from the point to the camera position (perspective cameras)
- take another vector from the clicked point to all our edit points
- for each of these, get the angle between it and the view direction vector
- if they are aligned (angle is 0° or 180°), then this edit point is exactly in the line of our clicked point. Then we can consider it was clicked.

Wow. Ok I'll give it a try, also of it doesn't looks so easy to me thanks Yorik!

[carlopav]

I'm very proud of arc editing I think i'll move to walls and windows following yorik suggestion, if any of you have some ideas on what to move with editpoints is welcome! (also the task panel could be customized for every object type)

Thanks moult! If you have some thoughts to share or things that u would like to be present in that tool feel free to write it, i'd really appreciate it!

Hehe pretty impressive @Carlopav
I didn't realize you had top noch programming skills

If you have some thoughts to share or things that u would like to be present in that tool feel free to write it, i'd really appreciate it!

Since you are asking, don't worry, i'm pretty creative, there are a few things that came up to mind the other day, canj't remember them just yet. But will get back at you with it.

Also how do you create those giffs, or videos? i've been trying to figure that out.

Thx Regis, it's nothing serious
I used shared https://getsharex.com to capture a gif. And resize the freecad window to save on file size!

@Regis, if you are inclined towards using Linux-like tools, ffmpeg can do what you are asking for:

ffmpeg -video_size 1920x1080 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0+0,0 test.mp4
ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -vf scale=480:270 my gif.gif

The first line records your full screen at that resolution (change as necessary) and the second line converts it to a gif at 480x270 resolution.
