Placement Tools workbench

[VyacheslavKlipov]

Hello. I present to you my workbench for pseudo-assembly Placement Tools. This workbench allows you to quickly position an object or a group of objects relative to each other. Positioning objects becomes like a game of cubes. Download link: https://github.com/VyacheslavKlipov/PlacementTools.

The capabilities of the workbench are demonstrated here:

Now I am translating the workbench into English, but I will not be able to make a video review in English. I would be very grateful if someone can help. You can now watch the video with English subtitles

Indeed, the auto-subtitles work great. Thanks for translating the workbench. I will say that, I forget now which clip i watched, but i didn't fully understand what buttons you were clicking on to get the results you were getting.

this looks a lot like the Manipulator workbench. What's the difference to it ?

My workbench is not based on manipulator code. I went my own way. I am inspired by the ease of positioning objects in SketchUp. I strive to do better.

Despite the lack of translation, you can focus on the icons of the buttons when positioning. Basic ideas for selecting objects: 1) First select what to move, then where. 2) If you select several objects, then when you press the move point to point button, the penultimate object will be moved to the last one, all other objects will repeat the trajectory of the penultimate one. If you click the align or arrange objects button, all selected objects will be aligned to the last one. 3) In those tools where you need a selected point, you can select it directly, if you select an edge, then the point of the center of the edge will be taken, if you select a circle, then its center will be taken, if you select a surface, then its center of mass will be taken. This behavior is logical and convenient.

my question was about the functionality: both workbenches seem to do the same thing. Did you consider testing and improving the Manipulator WB ?

I can't really answer this question because I don't use the manipulator. I tried it a long time ago. My workbench was originally a block game for an eight year old kid. Then it became a full-fledged positioning tool, which is based on the idea of ​​cubes. I myself use it to build various mechanisms.
Perhaps the manipulator is more functional, but my workbench is simple.
