Placement Tools Improvements

Ben's Spinbox for transform in Organize tab We need a copy/duplicate button. Should also work with ctrl + c and ctrl + v Rotate values need to hold when asset is deselected like scale does Replace asset doesn't work Getting comments from testers that undo/redo aren't consistent. I know they don't currently work for texturing but not sure if the inconsistencies are anywhere else. Placement tools for imports There is still a bug when you use rectangle select it sometimes selects assets behind the camera. Make 3D, in scene menu semi-transparent. BC selector icons can sometimes be difficult to select. Can they scale a little based on distance to the object? Also, sometimes when I hover over an asset or imported object the selector icon shows up but when I move to select it it disappears. Maybe a bigger hit box would fix this? Add a color picker to the white grid to change color. Also add ability to change texture of base plate using library textures (grass, asphalt, concrete, soil) Make mirror icons (X,Y,Z) match the colors of the transform widget. Mirror option doesn't work for all assets (sometimes inverts textures) Line and Polyline Placement If you quit line placement before confirming a pop up should ask you if you are sure you want to quit The line path is hard to use with flat objects since the GUI path is thick and opaque. Could we make it thinner and more translucent? Can we include a reset button that removes all assets from the list? It takes too many steps/clicks to get to the line tool When items are placed with the line tool they should be grouped together into one group in the organize tab. Polyline placement process- Click Polyline tool by clicking icon > Click points of polyline (like traffic path system) > select assets > adjust slider settings (can you make the system similar to the traffic placement?) Polyline other comments - If someone has an asset selected and then clicks the polyline tool that asset should be added to the tool. The user should be able to select assets before placing the points of the polyline. Right now when you are in brush, line or polyline you can't click the single placement icon to enter single placement mode but you should be able to. Line placement isn't very precise. The line doesn't always start where you place the arrow. Cars placed with line tool should automatically be random colors. Right now they are all the same and it is a pain to change the color for each one. Brush Tool Placement There is a bug where brush tool places assets in straight lines if you are doing small numbers But where assets are placed in straight lines Set parameters between 50-5000 If you quit brush before confirming a pop up should ask if you are sure you want to quit Can we have a reset button that removes all assets from the list? It takes too many steps/clicks to get to the brush tool Option to place people for crowds with random people and random animations? (random person thumbnail in asset panel) Long Term Could we have asset numbers next to each sub-category head? If user has used line placement tool in current Vision session and uses it again it should have the previous settings/assets with an option to reset defaults (right now it seems to look like this works because the values hold but they aren't actually there) Probably less important but is there any way we can improve the loading time for thumbnails on assets when you open the panels and subcategories? (Photoshop icons) Hover over thumbnail to see tags Save line placement for use in the future (and load last settings if available) Would it be possible to subtract assets placed from previous brush placements? Randomize rotation button It would great to have a way to select all the same vegetation type and to randomize scale and rotation separately with a click of a bottom It would be nice someday to be able to 'lock' into a specific asset category (the old context/state discussion from a while back)
