Title: rubberDuck's NVil Config
Post by: rubberDuck on February 02, 2018, 01:57:09 pm
This is a minimalistic configuration best suited for working in full screen (single viewport). Relies mostly on shortcuts and radial menus with an occasional user tool window.

WOW - This is simply stunning - so much work and effort!

Thanks a lot - I wanted to try this config, but I dont know, where to put all these .xml files. I was hoping, NVIL takes just a "1 file" config, that contains all kind of things - but this is not the case.

So, where to put all those xml´s ?

Kind Regards,

Elo

First, go to:
Code: [Select]
%APPDATA%\DigitalFossils\NVil\User SettingsThen, backup all the files from that directory and replace them with files from the archive.

No screenshots, but you can see the config in action on my Draw Mesh videos:

Beautiful GUI! That was a lot of work for sure. I really appreciate the Silo influence since I have a lot of muscle memory built around their keyboard shortcuts. Perhaps we could implement "Shift + c" keyboard shortcut which Silo calls "Refine Control Mesh". I really need to dig into Nvil more :)

As an aside, here's where I found the folder to place the .xml files.

You can easily add this shortcut by yourself. Search for "Collapse Subdivision" in the Edit->Customize->Tools and assign it SHIFT+C key combination.

There will be a warning message telling you that this hotkey collides with Connect Edges custom StreamLine tool, so you will need to either remove that shortcut in Edit->Customize->StreamLine Tools->My Tools->Connect Edges, or reassign it. I'll probably delete that custom streamline tool from the config because I don't even remember when was the last time I used it. Additionaly, Cut (bound to "X") does more-or-less the same thing.
