Small bug in view mode

#1

Hi,

there is a command-persistence bug in the view mode icon bar when using “view only intersecting supports”

As it used to be so that, when clicking the ( only intersecting supports) icon and then on “add single support”, the view mode remained on the selected.

As it is now, when you select the viewing mode and then on “add single support”, the viewing mode reverts back to the default viewing mode.

For placing supports, I do prefer the “only intersecting supports” mode , as it allows more accurate support placing, cause the feet do no obscure the positioning place.

As you can not click on the viewmode icon after starting the “add single support”, I found a work around, by using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-SHIFT-I , after using the add single support command.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this.
So I redid a lot of the UI mode code. Basically all, to make the behaviour more consistent.

I’ve removed the ‘flip to normal mode’ when adding single supports. I think this was old inherited code… it was executed on every ‘exit’ of a mode.

I’m still in doubt if I should keep the display commands in the bottom blocked or not when in a mode. I added this for ‘safety’ reasons. But thinking about it again; display modes should probably independent of UI modes. They are just ‘how’ things are displayed… but it gets a bit tricky when for example the user enters ‘brush face’ mode and then selects ‘wireframe’… i guess that’s why I blocked it.
