Rotating into Perspective View

By tiagori · 2013-04-13

Description

Guys,

Would be great if we had a script that allow us to model in orthographic view, then when we rotate/orbit the viewport, it switched directly to perspective view, intead of user view.

I know that i can just press P to convert it back to perspective, but its becames very annoying to press it every time!!

Thanks in advance!

I have tested this and it works:


macroscript isVptToPerspVpt
category:"miauu"
tooltip:"isVptToPerspVpt"
buttonText:"isVptToPerspVpt"
(
	callbacks.removeScripts id:#callView
	fn userToPerspective = 
	(
		if viewport.getType() == #view_iso_user do 
		(
			viewport.setType #view_persp_user
			max tool zoomextents all
	 
		)
	)
	callbacks.addScript #viewportChange "userToPerspective()" id:#callView
)

super useful scrit

oh man! This is great!!! Thanks so much!! worked like a charm!

Btw, is there a way to automatic "Z" when rotating??

thanks Barigazy!!

Yup.

max tool zoomextents all

should do it but works when tou switch from user to perspective ei. only once

run this in listener
if you find this useful save it as *.ms and put inside scripts > startup folder
after all you need to use "Z" (zoomextents all) after "Alt+MMB"

callbacks.removeScripts id:#callView
fn userToPerspective =
(
if viewport.getType() == #view_iso_user do
(
viewport.setType #view_persp_user
max tool zoomextents all

)
)
callbacks.addScript #viewportChange "userToPerspective()" id:#callView

can we zoom extent with using z

i know...but you also need to press a key to go into perspective...i trying to get a more fluid workflow. It would be automatic and fast rotating the viewport from top or front view for example, very dynamic.

I prefer to use "V" and pick from the list.
