How To Add A New Point To A Roto Shape?

Recommended Posts

Hi all, i am using the rotoShape COP, i want to add points to an existing curve, in previous version i have used Shit+LMB when the cursor was over the curve and it is highlighted.

With H 8.0.398 WinXP when i put the mouse over the curve it isn`t highlited and if i press Shift+LMB over the curve the region view is activated not the add point to curve.

Anyone with the same problems?

Thanks

Shift+LMB on an image selects a subregion of interest. It used to be in Rotospline that you had to Shift+LMB click on the edge of the spline to insert a point (which is a handle itself). With Rotoshape, you can click anywhere on the image to insert, which made Shift+LMB to insert conflict with Shift+LMB to select. So, point insertion was changed to Ctrl+LMB.

I figured by writing a new node I could get away with it :) Didn't quite, I guess!

the LMB ROI stuff is cool...except the first time you do it without realizing it's there and then you can't figure out how to get out of it...

That would be where the docs on the viewer come in handy (hdox://houdini/content/base/ref_imgview.xml). Lots of good stuff in there :)

To clear a selection, you have quite a few choices:

1) Hotkey - Shift + S

2) Mouse - Shift +RMB

3) UI button - left viewer stow bar, "Clear Selection"

4) UI menu - Pane menu, View->Clear Selection

I personally like Shift+RMB, myself.
