Pan in Trace Polyline command

Post by geolux »

Hi Guys
When I'm using the function "Trace Polyline" for draw on Points cloud and I use "Pan" with right click mouse, command are interrupted and green poly stop to edit.
I'm mistaking some things?
Is there a solution?

It Seems that the right click is the end of the drawing command and the same time the "pan" command. So when I want move the view in other point of model and I use right click I can't continue to draw on points cloud

Indeed, right clicking is used to stop editing (same mechanism as for the interactive segmentation tool). Not sure how to deal with this properly yet!

I'm thinking that a rapid solution could be to change the end command to drawing tool. For example "return" or only clicking on the confirm icon, like attached image.
But ... why during the work this icon is disable?

Hi Daniel,
do you think it is easy to do it, in this mode?

The issue is not how easy it is (well not only at least). The real thing that matters is who will do it and when ;)

Hi Daniel, would a quick solution to this issue be to implement keyboard shortcuts for panning?

Okay, I added a CTRL + right click shortcut. As well as a 'continue' button in case the user mistakenly closes the polyline. It should do the trick.

I'll let you test the latest 2.9 beta version (online).
