Introduction

Klop Utils

From The PDF by klopez

• What is KlopUtils
• It is a program written in Python language for being used as a script while you are using Blender.
• It contains tools about modeling, modifing and positioning 3D objects that the official Blender version have not.
• These tools are initially oriented as a help for the general design of objects en 2D and 3D (architecture, industrial...), and this is the issue the program will be developed around.
• The utilities in the program are separated in 4 areas, accesible trough a unfolding menu, always placed at the top of the interface:
• Alignment
• Fitting an object between two others
• Setting to an object the absolute size of other one
• Aligning selected objects, according to several criteria:
• Alignment of location/rotation/scale
• Scale can be changed either aditive or multiplicatively
• Location separation can be referenced aither by centers, baricenters, origins or limits
• Object creation (not included in Blender distribution)
• Circunference passing through 3 points
• Arc passing through 3 points
• Arc based on angles and radius (interactive)
• Mesh modifing (affects vertices, faces and edges)
• Edges subdivision in any number of parts
• Proyection onto an arbitrary plane, in an arbitrary direction
• Applying of position, rotation, scale values (new matrix) over an object, though it looks unaffected.
• Posibility of actualizing other matrix instances is available
• 3D Objects modifing (affecs to transform matrices)
• Moves/Rotates/Scales randomly the selected objects
• Moves selected objects closer/away the active one,
• setting them at a fix distance
• moving them a fix number
• setting them at a proporcional distance

Indeed, all numeric/vectorial values used during the program use, can be copied and pasted with the help of a buffer, which can contain:

• A position vector
• A Euler list
• A scale vector
• and can store:
• Numbers, entered by user
• Values aquired from objects (matrices mean, distance, difference of position or rotation angles between two objects)and being showed on Blender console as text.
