View Full Version : Increase/decrease magnet size problem.

I'm using Wings 0.98.36 on windows XP pro

When using the "tweak" tool with the Magnet on I hava a problem:

"+" succesfully increases the magnet radius, but "-" doesn't decrease it again.
It just grows and grows and I don't see a way to decrease it or reset it.

I'm using a european keyboard, so it may be a mapping issue.

Does anyone have any ideas on what this might be caused by and/or how to fix it?

I have XP pro (SP2) with spanish keyboard and the magnet works correctly. Can you type - in the numeric input boxes?

goto select menu, what is assigned to Less? If its different than - try it in tweak mode with a magnet, do it while tweaking a vertex just holding it.

I am trying to follow this tutorial...

...for using magnet but cant find a way to access the magnet command. I am using a mac with a one button mouse. Is this the problem? Do I need to press some extra key to access the advanced commands? I did check one button mouse in my wings preferences.

Once in "tweak" mode, try hitting the "1" key to enable the magnet.


Whilst you "mouse down" you should seea shaded blue circle to show you the falloff.
It's not immediately obvious, but if you "mousedown" you can change the falloff radius dynamically by using the "+" and "-" keys
The command line at the bottom of the window will show you the commands to change the falloff type, increase/decrease size etc (As i found out above, these don't update if you change the key shortcuts)

Hope that's what you were looking for!
