Interactive Model challenges

Hi,

When we run model in perspective view, while doing zoom in and out some visual blocks get clicked by mistake and as you know with scrolling visual blocks position start changing.

What we were thinking if we can lock the object placement at particular places will help us in resolving this issue and great help as well. Other wise everytime we have to put aside all visual blocks for anychanges.

For end user also it creates lot of discomfort.

Other thing we are using dynamic script in our model and want to safeguard it from novice users, i am not having no idea how to make it protected.

Kindly advise.

Hi,

On the General Tab on an object, mark Protected.
Now the object will be locked at this position.

Thanks alot for your valuable suggestion, its working now.

How about locking script over gui else novice user may temper it and we want to safegurard it from such usage.

I am quite sure there must be a mechanism of setting a password for locking script.

Kindly advise.

I don't think there is way to protect your code, but there are other solutions.

For instance you can put your code in a usercommand and call that usercommand from within your function. The novice can still change the usercommands name but that would be silly and at least it doesn't invite anybody to start playing with the code because there isn't any. Just one line.

Another (and better I think) is to change your guis so that they will not show those triggers. But this might be some work

If you want to disable clicking objects on a perspective window you can toggle "ignore objects" on. This will stop you from moving objects of clicking on them to view properties.

In the view settings menu (View | Modeling Utilities | View Settings) there is a tick box for "Ignore Objects".

Thanks alot

I take your recommendations, will live up to this fact of not locking up script.

Kindly let me know, if there is any way out.
