shape parameter

masamasa
masamasa over 1 year ago

hello:

 

is there a way to access the shape parameters in an easier way?

 

after selecting a shape, it does not show the parameters on the right botton menu.

 

so i usually select a shape from the menu and the right botton menu shows the parameters.

         

i have hundreds of shapes somtimes so i would like to find a way to access the shape parameters in a quicker way.

    Hi,

    Try this,

    1. Type  funckey s pop shape param in command window. It will assign key "s" to parameter window.

    2. Select shape and type s and enter in command window, it should work

    Thank you.

    masamasa  ... the funckey line above is wrong. Try this: 

    funckey s shape param

    But make sure you're in Shape Edit Mode
