3D-manipulators in general
Creating this thread in order to collect anything related to the creation of 3D-manipulators, this doesn't include the use of 3D-manipulators. For those who want to discuss the use of 3D-manipulators: please create a unique topic for that.
And a separate topic we got! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the excellent work of Thomas Neeman: A collection of links on the subject of the usage of 3D manipulators
The big vector sum up by Edward Williams
If/when you guys find other threads/tickets/feature request then please create a link in a subsequent posts and I'll add them to this list.
issue #4640 Forum discussion and feature request: Interactive 3D-viewport manipulation?
New Widget system for 3DCoin (Aimed to be used with direct modeling tools)
Q: Manipulators? Clipping Plane?
Direct modeling now in low cost CAD
Design456_Workbench
Freeform surface manipulation through interactive movement of nodes
Selection and draggers
Dragger callback functions from python
Adding a dragger callback
SoFCSelection and App::FeaturePython

Re: 3D-manipulators in general
thanks for these interesting links. i have shot some videos about direct modeling in freecad, if interested i can link them here.

Thanks for your offering, but I did specifically state:
So how about this counter suggestion?Pauvres_honteux wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 7:41 am ... this doesn't include the use of 3D-manipulators ...
You create a new topic (mabye call it [Usage examples of 3D-manipulators]) were you collect links to good (in your opinion) examples of 3D-manipulators from the net?

Re: 3D-manipulators in general
I've often done something like that in the past and there was a strong headwind, so now I only post something on request.

Re: 3D-manipulators in general
Sorry to hear that, but don't give up! Assiduous wins!
If you create that topic and maintain it I'll link to it from my first post. How does that sound?

edit
it occurred to me that I've already done something like that. here it is

Re: 3D-manipulators in general
Oh, it's in german!
Then please extract the links and paste them in a new topic. That way we get "links only" in the first post, which is what we want, a link collection.
And remember, we are not in a hurry. You can spread your work over time, as long as it become a link collection.

Re: 3D-manipulators in general
I'm putting together a wiki page on vectors, rotations and placements that underlie 3D manipulation.
https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Sandbox:Edwilliams16
which might be appropriate for your list.

Re: 3D-manipulators in general
Naturally! And what an excellent work sire!
If may be granted a wish I'd like to ask for some examples on how to implement/get a e.g. tangent vector (expressed in the coordinate system active for the moment being) from a curve at a user selected point of choice?

Re: 3D-manipulators in general
As far as I know, I can only select curves or the vertices on its ends. Is there a way to select a point on a curve or obtain the parameter value of the selected point on a curve? That's the minimum input required to construct a tangent vector there.Pauvres_honteux wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 9:23 am

Any other "examples" in mind?
