Pie Menu (Shift+W)

The DAMTools Pie Menu (default Shift+W, configurable in Preferences) gives quick access to the addon's tools. It now includes a dynamic "Most Used" strip, category containers, and a Toggles area.

Structure

  • Top center
  • "Most Used" strip: 6 icon-only buttons that update automatically based on your usage (favorites). Tooltips show the real operator label/description.
  • DAMTools + Documentation links
  • Left
  • MANIPULATION: Extract/Offset/Intersect/Quick Slice/Split/Revovle/InternalUnion
  • Right
  • EDIT / DIBUJO: Join Nearby, Rename by X, Layer Selector, Model Replace, X-Ray + slider
  • CLEANING / MIRROR: Destructive Mirror, Default/Aggressive Clean, MatDelete
  • Bottom row
  • FILE HANDLING (left): Import Batch, Options, Extract Selection, Export STL, SlicerExport
  • TOGGLES (right): TransfConstrain toggle (smart G/R/S)
  • TRANSFORM (left): Place on Floor, Align Face Z0, Apply & Origin Bottom, Arrange in X/Y, Arrange Grid (Prefix), Bounding Wireframe
  • HARD SURFACE (right): Paneling, Bolting, Random Selector

Favorites indicator

  • Buttons that are currently in the top 6 "Most Used" show a trailing star (★) at the end of their label across the menu to help you spot favorites.

TransfConstrain (smart transforms)

  • When enabled in the Toggles box, G/R/S are remapped to smart operators that constrain based on the current view:
  • Translate/Scale: constrained to the plane orthogonal to the dominant view axis in LOCAL orientation
  • Rotate: constrained around the dominant view axis
  • A green viewport overlay "TransfConstrain Applying" is shown during the transform.

Preferences-driven visibility

  • Categories and individual tools can be shown/hidden from Preferences > DAMTools > Tools.
  • Hidden categories/tools also disappear from the "Most Used" strip.

Shortcut

  • Open with Shift+W (editable in Preferences > DAMTools > Keymap).
