Synopsis

projectionManip [-fitBBox] [-projType int] [-switchType]

projectionManip is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

Various commands to set the manipulator to interesting positions.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

fitBBox, projType, switchType
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-fitBBox(-fb) create
Fit the projection manipulator size and position to the shading group bounding box. The orientation is not modified.
-projType(-pt) int create
Set the projection type to the given value. Projection type values are:
  • 1 = planar.
  • 2 = spherical.
  • 3 = cylindrical.
  • 4 = ball.
  • 5 = cubic.
  • 6 = triplanar.
  • 7 = concentric.
  • 8 = camera.
-switchType(-st) create
Loop over the allowed types. If the hardware shading is on, it loops over the hardware shadeable types (planar, cylindrical, spherical), otherwise, it loops over all the types. If there is no given value, it loops over the different projection types.
