Add-Ons:

Release Notes:

Update 2.014

Unbevel v3 (New, Update):

• • Added face selection mode : Select unconnected "bevel face loops" to unbevel. VIDEO
  • Added Auto Ring Select toggle in redo panel as well
  • Edge mode & Rebevel options (in redo panel) still available
  • Fixed bugs 

SubD Pie Menu (New, Update):

• • Added Vertex Groups quick managment access in the pie menu
  • Added Vertex Groups bevel modifier preset . This is not very useful yet, as we still wait for "attribute group" support (=edge groups, which would be useful for bevels).
  • Also added auto sorting for Normal Weighting modifier (always placed last, when using SubD Pie operators)
  • Added "Symmetry" (bisect) Mirror Modifier presets.

FirPrim (Fix):

• • Box mode now creates UV maps (stacked & centered, in relative size)

Cursor Fit & Align (Fix?):

• • When used on models with non-applied scale, the results will probably be wrong. Just added a warning for now. 

Update 2.013

keKit Cursor Menu (NEW):

• • Manipulate the Cursor rotation from a custom 3D-Cursor Menu in the vieport header:  IMAGE
    • Unfortunately there is no (reliable) method of inserting it directly before the Orientations menu, where it really belongs.
    • Align To View
    • Local Cursor Axis Step/Snap Rotation via preset step or custom step value
      
    • Align towards an object selected in menu 
    • Match rotation of the object
    • Direct access to Cursor Location & Rotation (dupe of View/3D Cursor menu, for ease of access in one place) + clear buttons
      
    • Snap To items (as in the pie menu) 

SubD Tools (Upd):

• • AutoSmooth Option added (relevant when using SubD Toggle):

    ON:Autosmooth is turned off by toggle when subd is on - and vice versa
    OFF:Autosmooth is not changed by toggle

Cursor Fit & Align (Fix/Upd):

• • Wrong transform (location, rotation) when used on parented objects fixed
  • New Mode:
    • 3+ selected objects uses active (or random (=last in selection sorted by name) if no active in selection) for rotation, with averaged location as before.

Update 2.012

Cursor Rotation (NEW):

• • Manipulate the Cursor rotation (in the redo-panel) in various ways (KeKit Selection Module Panel):
    • Local Axis Step/Snap Rotation via preset steps (or custom step value)
    • Align To View
    • Align towards an object selected in menu (oddly enough enum only works reliably in Edit Mode...)
    • Match rotation of the object
    • Direct access to Cursor Rotation (dupe of View/3D Cursor menu, for ease of acces in one place)
      • Future: Might just migrate all this to that menu instead of an operator. TBD.

Prefs: TT Tools Viewport Icons (Upd):

• • Placement is now user choice (in add-on prefs): Toolbar Left, Center (Right of Toolbar Menus) or Right. Or not at all.
    

Context Select (Upd):

• • Added Hierarchy select in Object Mode (either full hierarchy or children only via option toggle)
  • Also works with Context Select Extend & Contract.

KeMaterials Pie Menu (Fix):

• • Error caused by Material Utils when no preview icon is found. Creating new materials will now make sure the properties material tab is open for it to auto-generate.

FitPrim (Fix):

• • Make prim in space (ground plane not hit) bug fixed

Update 2.011

Linear Array (Fix/Upd):

• • Added Gpencil Object support
  • Fixed Context Mode Poll error msg

Cursor Fit & Align (Upd):

• • Added Gpencil & Curve Edit Mode support

Context Tools - Extrude/Dissolve/Delete (Upd):

• • Added Gpencil & Curve Edit Mode support. Note: Shortcuts for these modes must be assigned manually (*not* RMB assign)

Align View To Cursor (Fix):

• • No longer requires Cursor Fit & Align to work reliably: Will always align view to cursor Z-axis.

Update 2.010

FitPrim (Fix):

• • Added Context object poll (object now required to at least be in context)
  • Pie Menu Invoke-Event bug fix/workaround. Rare bug (?) that makes the op loose the ability to read invoke-event data > in these cases an average object location will be used for mouse position. Might be platform specific (Linux). If it does not occur for you, everything will work as before.

Update 2.009

Nice Project 1.1 (Upd)

• • Changed object mode behaviour: Active Object is now cutter & all other (visible) mesh objects are potential targets.
  • (tip: use "hide unselected" or similar,  to ignore irrelevant objects in complex scenes)
  • New VIDEO

Misc:

• • Known issue: FitPrim Pie Menu objects offset no longer works reliably. I have disabled the offset, so it is less dramatic ( but still wrong). Will revisit at some point. 
  • Cleaned up more redundant files (kit is smaller in kb. yay.)

Update 2.008

Nice Project (NEW)

• • Knife Project, but nice.   VIDEO
    • Edit mode: Element selection as cutter
    • Object mode: 2 objects selected, cutter object last.
    • Knife Project mode: Edit mode + object mode selection in outliner as cutter, also included. For some reason.

Direct Loop Cut (Fix)

• • Auto-pick error when not in edge mode with no selection fixed

TT / Mouse Move (Fix, Upd)

• • Normal Orientation in Edit Mode now works (again?) whoops.
  • Now automatically switches to Local O. from Normal O. if you are in Object mode instead of throwing error msg.

TT / VP Move (Fix.ish.)

• • Now uses Local Orientation if you are in Normal Orientation, even in Edit Mode, for now.

Update 2.007

Focus Mode / Super Focus Mode (Fix)

• • Auto-complete over-helpful bug. Now works again in v2.

Zero Local (Fix)

• • Also ignores (does not store) Location if all zero now.

Update 2.006

Zero Local (NEW)

• • Temporarily stores & zeroes Loc+Rot & sets Local Mode. Run ZeroLocal again to exit Local Mode & restore rotation
  • Variant: Zero Local R: Rotation only
  • In Main Module

Unhide or Local (Upd)

• • Moved to Main Module
  • Made compatible with Zero Local

FitPrim Add Menu (Upd)

• • Object Mode Mesh Menu pre-expanded for quicker access.

Quick Measure (Upd, Fix)

• • Object Mode Speed Improvement, by 10-6,000% (actually usable on heavy objects now ;)
  • Vertex mode "Clear" selection feature fixed (now works again, using 'C' key)
  • "Space Click" to clear line removed, does not actually clear (for now)

Get & Set Edit Mode (Fix)

• • No context object error fixed

Get & Set Material (Fix)

• • No selected object error fix

  • keKit Prefs location path changed to ‘Config’ (where your userprefs file is) 
    • When upgrading from 1.48, it will look in the old scripts dir to auto-update: The old settings will be loaded and a new file will be saved in Config, and the old one will not be used anymore)
