G_smartviews

Published by gustavo on May 4, 2008 under Rhino3D

This is an alternative toolbar to Rhino’s default toolbar for changing views. This is a really simple/silly tool but I’ve found it pretty useful compared to the default views.

The buttons with the red cars do the following:

LMB just activates the view (in perspective view also zooms extends, sets perspective angle, and sets Cplane to Top (I’m old school like that).
RMB activates the view and frames it to a selected object, if no object are selected it frames the view to all objects except for curves (in case you have long guides).

The button with the arrows does the following:

LBM gives you a 1-revolution 360-spin of your model
RMB Rotates view 90 degrees CW (useful for ortho views)

Thanks to Willem Derks for this help scripting the smart selection part :)
