It's very easy. Just provide 2 vectors calculated from your 3 points. Assuming they are like this:
then (B-A) for the first input, (C-A) for the second input.

Hi,
You can also use this VOP to do it for you:
http://www.orbolt.com/asset/animatrix::angleBetween::1.00 [orbolt.com]
It's open source if you want to know how it works.

Right on, I thought you want the maximum point in the box. I am interested in a solution too then (:

Hi,
Do you mean for the local bb? Not sure if you need it with a box with 4 polygons or a box with any number of divisions, but you can use one of the corners to construct a matrix and then transform it back using the difference.
This Box SOP stores the localmin/max in local coordinates as a detail attribute:
http://www.orbolt.com/asset/animatrix::box::1.00 [orbolt.com]
I submitted an RFE to have this info available as detail attributes for generator SOPs that take an input, so we wouldn't have to recalculate what was already calculated.

It's also important to note that if you leave the Local Variable parameter field empty in the AttribCreate SOP, a variable is automatically created. But the same does NOT happen when using an Add Attribute VOP, which should to be uniform all across the board IMO.

Hi,
Is your cursor over a SceneView when you press Q? Because it only works on operators added on the SceneView.
For #2, I don't think there is. There is a setting to place new tiles immediately, but that feature is broken to my knowledge.

Yes, the expression would still be simple. Just add 1 before the modulus operation:
($F + 1) % 2
You can also do it with the ternary operator (if else) but that would be slower since it has to test for the condition every time.

Hi,
Modulus returns the remainder, so the remainder of any even integer divided by 2 is 0. If it's odd, then it would be 1.

The posted training is from Digital Tutors, which is of very inferior quality compared to SESI's top notch training IMO. Also only 3 videos are available for free:

Hi,
To override any value in a VOPSOP, create a variable with the same name as the parameter, in your case “height”.

The Orbolt Smart 3D Asset Store » Path created for nodes in the Tab Menu is not used

Hey,
I also do the exact thing compositor has mentioned, that's setting my Tab menu using Type Properties > Tools > Context > TAB Submenu Path.
Before I downloaded my asset from the store to test and it did appear in the category I specified.
Although when I downloaded other people's assets, they also appear in Uninstalled Assets category after some time.
So maybe this only works if the category already exists? Since mine does because of my other assets using the same category.

When you type into this search field and press Enter, I think it only makes sense to trigger Find because there is nothing else to do. Right now pressing Enter only loses focus from the textbox, and requires you to click Find.
I would prefer it to be search-as-you-type
I'd like that (:

Technical Discussion » USABILITY: Separate hotkeys for network editor grid display

I use a hotkey for turning on the Grid in the network editor but it cycles between None, Lines and Points. I personally only use the Lines when I display the grid. But the cycling forces me to press it twice when I want to turn off the Grid display.
There should be one toggle for Lines, and one for Points. So whenever you use press one, it would display it if it's not already visible. If it's visible, then it would turn it off, i.e. set it to None.
Snapping hotkey is fine, it's just the grid/points display that's combined into a single hotkey as a cycle, instead of separate toggles.

Often times you want to compare the results from different options and with menus, you have to look at the menu, click and select the item you want, look at the result and then repeat till you clicked all the menu items you want.
It would be very useful if we could middle click at the parameter name for a menu and have a ladder show up for only +/-1 increments where this would scroll through each menu item sequentially.
Yay or nay?
