Where to get "View_Tool_Toggle_Snapping" script demoed in Daz 3D Education Series: Environments vid

pds

Has anyone watched this official Daz 3D video, Education Series: Environments - Setting Up the Scene, released on April 28th:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7ZDHjjozd8&list=PLF3LSR7D48Mf5lVC-llJ1mRxPrdcbr-15

At approximately [07:12] the instructor mentions navigating to a "scene file you donated" to locate a script called View_Tool_Toggle_Snapping. I have no idea what scene file he is referring to and searches of my Daz installation turn up no such script. Does anyone know where I can get this script? it seems handy.

Thanks!

Yeah, this tutorial isn't particularly well scripted.  There's a lot of "now we'll do this, but first we'll do that", and he talks about "inside the scene you donated" out of nowhere.  Wut?  I donated what now?  And then he's kind of all over the place. Stephanie is better organized with her tutorials.

I wonder if the part that included where that scene came from got left on the cutting room floor somehow... :-/

@sevrin and anyone else interested in getting this script: Daz has replied to my comment on the YouTube video with a link to the script. I will post that link here as well, but in case that is not acceptable by the moderators, I wanted you to know where you can now get it.

Just discovered this script - installed - shotcuted and translation works fine in universal tool. But rotation don't. What did i miss?

skinklizzard

the example script has rotation and scale commented out, copy the text of the example to a new script, uncomment the rotation part, comment the translation.

//oTool.setSnapTranslation( !oTool.getSnapTranslation() );oTool.setSnapRotation( !oTool.getSnapRotation() );

and save as a toggle rotation script

Thaaaaank you sooooo much! Works like charm now... BUT why should they comment this out? Wondering...

probably because it's an example rather than a bundled script, it's there so that people making scripts can see the possibility, also perhaps you don't want to toggle all the snapping on at once.
