[CleanShot 2021-04-02 at 17.21.21@2x] Hi! Renderdome 2 reminded me of a technique I used a lot, where I could snap surfaces to a point locater that showed up in F4 and F8. Handy. Doesn’t seem possible anymore. (note: this image is from an old Smoke on Mac tutorial). Anybody know if this is still a…

I saw this the other day from the Flame Learning Channel. Choose a group of locators and then place a floor plane in the centre of those locators. Worked like a dream and got me out of a hole. Might be what you’re looking for? [Clean Up or Adding Elements with Projections]

i had no idea this existed. terrified to think how much time this would have saved me over the years. Nice one.

I’ve always wished there was a “promote selected axis to locator” just to make these tools available for 3D tracks performed outside of action. Willing to bet it could be hacked in python…

I could have sworn I put a feature request for this seven or eight years ago, because, yeah, it would be nice to have that functionality outside of flame-generated camera tracks.

Doesn’t @lewis do this in his find-a-point demo? I’ve never tried it, but he does it so casually that I assumed it would just work. Someone who isn’t attempting to deliver spots today should try it…

You can’t create locators without a solve sadly.

I use that all the time, but it’s not really the ask… I was more referring to selecting a group of axis and being able to promote them to locators so they can be snapped to and parented under to allow for the various alignment options.

I was under the impression you could hack it by parenting any locator under an Axis.
