Steps:

• Add a bezier curve (the one that comes with blender by default or with the Flexi Draw Bezier tool).

• In Object Mode, double click on the curve and you should get this error:

Hi.

I have just tested the latest version of your MergeTool addon (beec6d9) and I noticed a strange behaviour.

Vertices do merge correctly but I can see the red line (illustrating the merge) a few pixels away (mostly above).

This makes me think that there is a bug when the user is moving a vertex onto another one.

I use Context Select on Blender 2.81 alpha (51be0a765e44-win64) and everything works fine with the Box-Selection but not really with the Circle-Selection, hence this request:

I mostly use the Circle Selection (radius=10) because it allows to select many edges very quickly but unfortunately, when I double click on an edge to create an "Edge Loop" selection, it doesn't work, same for Edge Rings with the "Select Circle" Tool.

It would be awesome if you could make this script compatible with the "Select Circle" Tool.

In some circumstances the Terminate Self Intersects add-on preference for the Context Select script does not function.

It has been observed that this sometimes happens if the starting component is right next to the intersect location but there could possibly be other instances to be investigated.

Hai

I'm crashing :- (((

Are scripts compatible with Blender 2.8 ?

I keep trying to install them but they never get listed in the addons list.
Am I doing something wrong or maybe the scripts are not compatible with blender 2.8 ?

Thanks for your help.

Was wondering if anyone else has had issues installing your addons? I cannot seem to get any of them to install on any 2.8 version of Blender for some weird reason.

Is it possible to setup a hotkey for the Merge Tool instead of having to use Search?

I wanted to run this tool every time I press Alt+W, being a noob, I try set up the hotkey using object.merge_tool but it doesn't work, I guess it is not that simple... hope there is a way for this tool to be run by a hotkey.

Thanks for the tool btw :)

Hi. I have noticed a bug while using Context Select.
I just created a UV Sphere, entered Edit Mode, selected several edges, double-clicked on several edges to create Edge Loops. Everything worked.

But then I left Edit Mode and I went back to Object Mode, double clicked on the mesh (my UV Sphere) and I got this error message:

I have tried twice these steps, I am 70-80% sure that's what I did to produce the bug.
But after that, I have tried to reproduce this bug again and again (following the same steps) without success. 😕

And then I noticed another strange thing : double clicking in an empty area of the viewport toggled Edit Mode / Object Mode.

It would be cool to see your add-ons listed on the Blender Extensions Platform.

it will be nice to have all these feature in UV map.

Inside the Blender scripts folder there exist:

• A zipped folder for the Mesh Merge Tool
• An unzipped folder for the Mesh Merge Tool

Is there any difference between the two? And could the redundant folder be removed/ renamed?

Thanks for making the tool, it is one of my favourite addons actually.

In the bl_info paragraph of your python files, I think that you should add these two clickable buttons in the Preferences > Addon details.

Hi,
hope we can get updates for all tools,
merge tool kind work but it lost the preview before merge

thanks

In Edit Mode, Viewport Shading: Solid but also in Wireframe, double click on an edge to create an Edge Loop selection, everything works fine as it should.

But if you target next to an edge, for example, in the middle of a face, Context Select creates an Edge Loop but on the back side of the mesh.

I got this error inside blender-2.81-4764362ebb91-windows64.

A tiny request, can "right click" "left click" and "alt" be preserved for navigation to work around the mesh without the need to exit and re_enter the tool, maybe as an addon preferences ?

Now i understand ,this will need a little more work than what i was thinking.

An ideal workflow will be :

M or( something else) to enter the tool .
Esc to exit the tool.

I understand also that adding ctrl+z inside the tool will require more work, but it's not that a big deal since you can exit the tool and then ctrl+z.

Addon version : Context Select hybrid 0.2.4

The following error appears after selecting three edges (with SHIFT+left click) then double-clicking on another edge.

Hi.

I am not sure this is an intended behaviour or not but I find it pretty annoying.
When I try to create face loops, sometimes ContextSelect selects all faces of the mesh.

Reproducing steps:

• just double click on the same face, it will select all faces.
• try to create a face loop, sometimes it works, sometimes it will select all faces.

I am using the blender-2.81-4707f1982ddb-windows64 Daily Build.

Your addon Merge Tool is very useful, thanks!
But I had a very unpleasant problem because of which I cannot keep it on all the time - every time I try to select 2 or more objects in Object mode using the held down shift = Traceback error occurs (in the screenshot). Perhaps this is due to the fact that I am using the Maya Config Addon (https://gumroad.com/l/FKhQL), but I'm not sure. This is very annoying, so I have to turn off everytime your addon until I need it again...

Hi.

I just wanted to know if the lack of addon version (in your .py files) is on purpose?

I tend to think that this information is convenient (useful to know if the user has the latest version or an old one..)

First i want to say thank you, this function is amazing, coming from maya this is a must.

i'm having this error with Blender 2.90.1 :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\BIDULCHOUET\Blender\B_HUMAN\Scripts\addons\MergeTool.py", line 107, in modal
for v in self.bm.verts:
ReferenceError: BMesh data of type BMesh has been removed

location: :-1

This is really weird cause i don't have this error in blender 2.91 alpha or blender 2.90.

Edit : This is not coming from your code, i'm sorry, this is coming from hardops,
if i use their multi edit tool and then i use yours, it throws an error/

The ability to make it merge on release is one less click , so it's more efficient in my point view,
that's why i think your tool is superior.

A tiny request, can right click be preserve for navigation and "Esc" be used to cancel operation ?

Hi

I noticed an error message while sculpting. I was just using the Draw (sculpting) tool.

I am currently using the blender-2.81-54a9649e2636-windows64 Daily Build.

Hi, I have selected some edges in edit mode, run the edge to curve script and this error comes up:
What am I doing wrong?

Hi
I was trying to use your add on, but can't make it work:

the plugin installs fine, but it doesn't seem to work with the latest version of Blender 2.90.1. It does not show up in the search function.

A user on the Blender Artists forum would like to merge the Edge to Curve and the Merge Tool into one add-on and add buttons in the Edit mode Edge context menu to access the tools without needing to use the Search operator. (This is particularly relevant due to the way that Blender has changed the return results from the Search operator in recent versions; everything should really go in a menu now. See #24 )

https://blenderartists.org/t/need-assistance-to-combine-2-scripts-in-one-single-addon/1269714

I'm happy to do the work but I'd want your go-ahead first @Stromberg90 since this represents a structural change from two add-ons to one.

Hi, it would be nice if the tool can show some indications when it is activated so the user knows they are in the tool's mode, and so when right click to exit the mode they would also be aware of it as well.
