Shortcut for setting origin to vertex












5












$begingroup$


I find myself doing the following quite often:




  1. go into edit mode

  2. select a single vertex

  3. press Space to enter the search menu

  4. type cur


  5. select Set cursor to active



    Set cursor to active



  6. leave edit mode

  7. press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C to get the set origin choices


  8. Choose Set origin to 3D cursor



    Set origin to 3D cursor




This seems like a very tedious process to me. I'm sure there's a shorter version of setting the origin to a vertex. Please tell me how to make this process more efficient.



I am open to installing an Addon if necessary.

    I don't think there is any built-in way as of 2.79. There were talks it will be In 2.8. With addons it can be made faster, like with Dynamic Context menu (built-in one), see blender.stackexchange.com/a/71319/1245. There are also some 3-rd party addons as well though their workable state is to be checked

Steps 3/4/5 can be replaced by Shift+S (for Snapping) / O.



Step 8 can be replaced by T. In general, you can look for underlined letters in such menus.



I also wrote an add-on to automate the process: OriginToSelection.py.



Install the add-on via User Preferences / Add-ons / Install from file, don't forget to activate it (check the box before its name). Press Spacebar and search Origin, then select Origin To Selection.



Be careful, I'm new to publishing add-ons and I'm pretty sure it can cause crashes. Save your work before using!

    I wonder why the bother with the context overriding in your addon. Consider having it poll only when in 3d view and edit mode. As it is it will fail silently when run when no 3d views in screen.

    Yes this one is by no means better, simply more "mesh-centric". The other addon in theory will also work for other types like curve and armature too. Script wise wanted to show how to do this without toggling edit mode, which can mean death to an edit bmesh.

Little bmesh helper script.



The process to move the origin involves making the new point the origin by subtracting it from all other verts, then translating the matrix world of the object such that the global location stays the same



Run in edit mode. Moves origin to selected geo.



import bpy

import bmesh

from mathutils import Vector

context = bpy.context



ob = context.edit_object

mw = ob.matrix_world

me = ob.data

bm = bmesh.from_edit_mesh(me)



selverts = [v.co for v in bm.verts if v.select]

if len(selverts):

    pt = sum(selverts, Vector()) / len(selverts)

    #T = Matrix.Translation(-pt)

    bmesh.ops.translate(bm, vec=-pt, verts=bm.verts)

    mw.translation = mw @ pt # replace @ with * for 2.7x

bmesh.update_edit_mesh(me)


As an addon for 2.80

    Without testing (library upgrades for 2.80 have bombed my 2.79 build, too lazy to fix atm) Pretty sure the required changes to make it work for 2.7x is replacing any @ with * and change the version accordingly in bl_info

    Yes this one is by no means better, simply more "mesh-centric". The other addon in theory will also work for other types like curve and armature too. Script wise wanted to show how to do this without toggling edit mode, which can mean death to an edit bmesh.

Origin of the phrase “under your belt”?

Image
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
