NVILL Discussion / Re: Scene Explorer -> Scene Hierarchy folder expand by default

After the box is created, you can see how the hierarchy is defaulted to collapsed mode, requiring clicking the small '+' button to expand the hierarchy.

2. Release LMB and move cursor to drag out the height of the box.
3. LMB click to finish the height adjusting.
4. Move cursor over and LMB click the top of the box to select the top section of the box.
5. Use manipulator to adjust the height. Or you can use input value for precise control.
6. Exit Box tool.

Are you able to list steps?
I have watched over that section a few times but can’t see how it could help my issue.

NVILL Discussion / Box creation tool Selection World face snapping sizing during creation is tricky
« Last post by Mike_Hocksworth on October 02, 2024, 11:44:50 pm »Along with previous post of trying to create a box aligned with the face of another box, I have found it a bit tricky/frustrating to size the second box correctly.
For example, I quickly run out of mouse travel room to make the box extend "outwards" and hit the edge of the view-port screen and cannot extend further (the mouse travel does not "wrap-around" or keep traveling).
My second instinct was to move over to the Box Height input panel, it does NOT accept input during this sizing specification stage, the up/down buttons beside the input also do NOT work during this stage.
I then accepted the input hoping I could adjust the Height afterwards, this did not work as expected either, the height was adjusted from the center, thus removing my face snapping or pushing the newly created box into/through the first box.
These limitations seem to negate a lot of what would be the advantages of creating a box/shape directly on another box/shape and would lead me to create the 2 shapes separately and then move/snapping them after the fact.

NVILL Discussion / Snapping Enable/Disable shortcut while in Create Box tool
« Last post by Mike_Hocksworth on October 02, 2024, 11:20:53 pm »While Create Box tool is open I try to draw the box aligned/snapped to the face of another object (say another box), I cannot toggle the Snap mode (using default shortcut key [CTRL] + X1 (mouse back button).
My intention/workflow is like this:
- Create a box to align to
- Create another box I want to align with first box
-- Enable snap mode (face snap)
-- Draw the box start face, snapping with first box
-- Disable the snap mode
-- Drag the end point of box freely without worrying about snapping unintentionally
I can however use the menu-strip/toolbar to toggle the snap option though.
I think this might be a bug of some sort but thought I would post in general just in-case some configuration issue might be in place.

NVILL Discussion / Scene Explorer -> Scene Hierarchy folder expand by default
« Last post by Mike_Hocksworth on October 02, 2024, 11:06:49 pm »Hi there,
Is there a setting somewhere to have the "Scene Hierarchy" expanded by default (when starting a new scene for instance).
I have been meaning to check into this one for a while and today it seems is the day.
When beginning a new scene probably the second or third operation I always perform is to expand/reveal the Scene Hierarchy folder just so that I know what objects are in my scene.
I would much rather manually collapse this folder if needed and leave it all showing by default otherwise.
I have attached a reference image showing the Scene Hierarchy folder.
