Starting using Skatter 2 - feedback and requests

[merwan]

Hi @Eqc

Thanks for the thorough feedback!

@Eqc

I am waiting very badly for the bug fix with Vray5 making it impossible to change the compositions without restarting sketchup.

This should get released later today.

@Eqc

when the preview animation is on, would it be possible to put the “done” button on top, to make it easier to click on it without scrolling down?

For the UI, we’re using a framework that follows strict conventions (eg. “title at the top > content > actions at the bottom”) so I’d prefer if we did not introduce special cases as this would break consistency.

However, there are two things that might make it more convenient for you:

• You can actually click anywhere in they grey background to close the overlay, no need to pinpoint that tiny “Done” button
• From Skatter 2.0.3, you will be able choose to hide the animation and show a smaller cue that doesn’t need to be manually closed instead (see gif below)

@Eqc

It would be nice to add the ability to merge point sets in host tab.

That’s noted. We also had another request in another thread for the ability to copy paint masks.
So we’re going to discuss internally if we should consider more ways to copy/paste/merge entities in the future.

@Eqc

Still about point sets, it would be nice to preview the points when clicking on the point set, without having to click on “add point”, then “done” when you are looking for a particular point.

I’m not sure I understand. The preview should always show the instances (red lines). Do you also want the blue points to be always visible in the preview?
