new measure

[Iburenko]

Hi!

Could you please explain me how to add new measure to a model? I realised how to add a scroll bar, but I don't know how to specify place that I need to modify.

Thank you!

What do you mean with "measure"?
To make a slider have an effect, you need to attach targets to it.
We just published a great tutorial on targets: http://www.makehuman.org/blog/an_introd ... arget.html

Thank you for a link!

But I'd like to add new sliders as in Modeling->Measure menu. How to add sliders for example for lower arm or upper arm and to see a length of measures?

Check the code of the measurement plugin, it's called "0_modeling_a_measurement.py".
With 388 lines of code it's very moderate in size. A good basic understanding of python should be enough.
You need to add a modifier (and the accompanying targets) and define the vertices on the human that should be measured along.

As far as I understood this lines in "0_modeling_a_measurement.py "

Code: Select all

humanmodifier.loadModifiers(getpath.getSysDataPath('modifiers/measurement_modifiers.json'), app.selectedHuman)
guimodifier.loadModifierTaskViews(getpath.getSysDataPath('modifiers/measurement_sliders.json'), app.selectedHuman, category, taskviewClass=MeasureTaskView)

adds a target and slider and it's working. But when I modify "0_modeling_a_measurement.py" trying to specify vertices all Measure menu disappears. It is not clear for me should I edit (and how) "modeling_modifiers.json", "modeling_modifiers_desc.json" and "modeling_sliders.json".

I think it's easy, but I don't see the solution.

If the menu disappears that means you introduced a bug or syntax error in the code. Check the log or terminal output to get feedback.
