edward Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 For PolySplit, while you're in the tool, hit the 'p' key to bring up its parameters. You can then turn on Snap to midpoint and/or perpendicular. Note that the perpendicular snapping doesn't work on the first point that you try to split.

I have to rewrite it to work with objects. place.zip It's quite old but I think it still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edward Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The operator was embedded "old-style" in the hip file. The place.cmd file is actually a houdini script which is used to create the contents of new Place SOPs. I've re-saved it out into an .otl file instead (See attached). To install the .otl file, first make sure you put the .otl file into the place where you want to keep it. Then in Houdini, go to File > Install Operator Type Library. Pick the place.otl file to install. If you only want to use it in the current .hip file, then you can just use the default. Otherwise, choose to install it into $HOME/houdini7.0. place.otl.gz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibarrick Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 There was actually a new style otl in that zip file, and I'd updated the hip file to read it..... Unless of course I went and attached the wrong zip file..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The place sop definition itself had no contents section though. That's why I thought it was old-style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
