Rotation Axis Snap
MUST HAVE very useful script to rapid switch to the viewport closest to viewpoint angle in perspective/orthogonal view of object you are modelling. The analog of behavior of constrain angle snap in ZBrush (activated by holding shift key).
Good replacement for internal switching between viewports hot keys (T/L/B/R/V), allowing you to rapidly switch to the top, bottom or side views while modeling. Instead of 5-6 keys, now you will have only one, that is more sense and intuitive.
new in v1.10: press hotkey again to switch back to the previous perspective view
For installing select menu Scripting -> Run script... and select dowloaded file.
Select menu Customize -> Customize user interface -> Keyboard. Find category: "jaspar scripts". Assing a hotkey to the script.
Simply add a shortcut key (e.g. Shift-D), rotate to required view, and press that hot key. After that you will be immediately switched to closest viewport corresponding to constrain angle. For example, if you are in perspective/orthogonal view most closely achieved the top part of object, you will be switched to top view.
new in v1.10
- add ability to switch back to the previous perpective view

было бы круто добавить
было бы круто добавить возможность переключить вид в перспективу из той ортографии в которой находишься. как если просто нажать P в видовом окне
Max 2012
Jaspar,
thank you for this great tool.
Please tell me is there any chance for you to support Max 2012 as well?
Thank you
top and down orientation
thank you amazing script.
top and down always snap to one axis unlike zbrush can you update the script?
zoom
Hi! Very good script. When you switch to view - maximizes the command Zoom Extents Selected. It would be better without zoom, keeping the scale
Great Script!
I used to switch to one of the orthographic views and then hit the Z key to zoom into selected objects, now this script kind of combine the workflow together and save the day, finally!
Thanks, great script! I had
Thanks, great script!
I had an idea for future implementation if you want.
You know how you can use the viewcube compass to rotate the views, for example if you are in top view, you can rotate the view port so the camera rotates to the right or left.
Is there a way for the script to figure out the rotation of the camera also?
so if you are looking at the model from top, it will figure out how to put in top view but also rotate it to match the previous view?
Thanks again!
Thank you very very much
Thank you very very much
update v1.10
Here you are. Script has been updated with your suggestion.
thanks! and suggestion
could you please update this script so it will switch back to the perspective view from any orthogonal ones
thanks!
Works fine
This script has no interface. Just assign hot key to this macroscript, and while you are working in viewport press hot key and you will see how your viewport switches to the closest side view.
