No argument
Opens the VertiBevel interface with << LAST USED >> selected.
-p
Run Preset
Applies the given preset to the currently selected polys.
The preset is loaded from the current preset file (unless
changed by -pfs or -pf) No interface will come up.
VertiBevel -p PresetName
-pfs
Preset File Set (permanently)
This changes your preset file, without having to go into the
Preferences panel in the VB Panel, and set it. Very handy
for quickly switching between preset files. (Good for switching
between sets of presets with the same names, but different
scales for instance).
VertiBevel -pfs BigPresets.cfg
-pf
Use Preset File (for this time only)
This changes the preset file for the current command only.
It is useful for being able to always access a particular preset
regardless of the current preset file.
VertiBevel -pf BigPresets.cfg -p PresetName
-s
Scale Preset (uniformly) by Amount
This is great for applying a preset at a different size.
(Try using this with << LAST USED >>, for speedy
resizing of your last bevel).
VertiBevel -s 0.5 -p PresetName
-si
Scale Preset (inset only) by Amount
Same as -s, but only scales the inset values.
VertiBevel -si 0.375 -p PresetName
-ss
Scale Preset (shift only) by Amount
Same as -s, but only scales the shift values.
VertiBevel -ss 1.25 -p PresetName
-l
Load a Preset and open the VB interface with it.
Much like -p, but instead of applying it directly, it will open
the interface to allow you to make adjustments to it, save it as
a preset, etc... Very useful for LScript generated presets.
VertiBevel -l PresetName
-lo
Load (Only) a Preset. This Loads the specified
parameters from the Preset. This changes parameters in the
<< LAST SAVED >> preset. It is most useful for
LScripts, but can be used to quickly change settings without
opening the VB interface (see the note below on preset files).
VertiBevel -lo PresetName
-ns
No Save. This parameter which can only be used when a
-p argument is given, causes the preset that is used to Not be
saved as << LAST USED >> when applied. This is
useful if you wish to reapply a preset at different scales for
instance, but not make the scaled version the << LAST USED
>>
VertiBevel -p PresetName -ns
Combining commands:
You may combine multiple commands in a single call. Most
calls can be combined, but a few can't (for instance -l or -lo and
-p). The preset file and preset names below are made up,
don't expect to find them (<< LAST USED >> is real
though). Examples:
VertiBevel -pf BigPresets.cfg -l PresetName
Loads (in the VB panel) the preset "PresetName" from the preset file "BigPresets.cfg", but
when VB is open, the preset file will still be the current one.
VertiBevel -pfs BigPresets.cfg -s 0.9 -p PresetName
Sets the current preset file to "BigPresets.cfg"
and applies the preset "PresetName" at 0.9 scale.
VertiBevel -si 0.5 -ss 1.25 -pf SpecialPresets.cfg -p
RoundCorner
Applies the preset "RoundCorner" from the preset
file "SpecialPresets.cfg" with the inset scaled to 50%
and the shift scaled to 125%.
VertiBevel -s 0.9 -p << LAST USED >>
Applies the most recently applied bevel at 90% of its last
applied size.
VertiBevel -pf ParamsPresets.cfg -lo SoloBevelOn
Assuming you have created a preset in ParamsPresets.cfg which
only specifies SOLOBEVEL as 1, then the above call will simply
change the << LAST USED >> preset to bevel each poly
individually. (See the Preset Files note below).
Preset Files:
Presets in a preset file are simply blocks of text which
describe each of the individual parameters in that preset.
They may include some or all of the available settings.
Here is a complete preset block:
NAME DeepCorner
S_VAR 0
I_VAR 0
EDGES 0
SELFACES 1
SELBEVELS 0
SOLOBEVEL 0
FACEPOLYSURF << SOURCE >>
BEVELPOLYSURF << SOURCE >>
STEPS 5
0 0
0.013 0.002
0.09 0.014
0.099 0.09
0.1 0.1
ESP 0 |
Example preset block in a Preset file
The only required entry is the NAME entry. The others may
be omitted. It is important to note that the STEPS entry
must contain the appropriate number of inset/shift pairs
following it (the first always being "0 0"), for it to
work. If you include an entry, make sure you give it a
value. If you don't want to specify a particular
parameter, simply exclude it.
You can create (in a text editor, from an
LScript, or another plugin or program) a text file that has a preset block in it, and you may
call that preset from a command or LScript. When calling a
preset that occludes certain parameters, the occluded parameters
will be the same as the << LAST USED >> preset.
