Thanks for looking into it. I guess that was not clear, I always assumed that that sample setting was in affect if a material was also provided.

@Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) Thanks for confirming. I guess it would be nice if this limitation is considered a bug at this point given that it really undermines the power of metaballs and the collections used together.

This behavior is broken in 2.83 nightlies. I cannot hide any part of the mesh using box hide if the mesh has any kind of shape keys.

Changing the zoom axis from vertical to horizontal helps but that is not as comfortable in the 3d viewport.

Definetely would be nice to have face based groups, vertex based ones creates unpredictable results for sure.

Well that is fine as far as the axis goes, my biggest issue with this is the lack of snapping to Cursor center. I also do not undertand why it the scaling cant be aligned to the Cursor axis given that we now have the Cursor rotation. That would have been a resoanble expectation in versions prior to 2.80

I think that this has something todo to do with the rotation but the main issue is with the Cursor being as the pivot point. I can actually replicate this in 2.79.

Could this be related to https://developer.blender.org/T69775 ? The cursor pivot point is quite wonky

Sorry I did not see the message. It was in the contrib before. I can definetely fix the errors, if it will be accepted.

Yeah I think there is a major bug going on. I have this issue in a Python script too. I can confirm this bug. It seems to be related to scene.collection.objects.link

As far as I can tell the solution recommended by @Joseph Eagar (joeedh) works in this case. I will test it further but I was able to overcome the hard crashes I have been facing when ediitng the lattice in an operator.

It seems like this bug not just affecting undo delete but also it crashes Blender after undoing lattice naming and other Lattice objct related operations

Please make a video shows how you crash it. You can use free "ShareX" for recording video.

Thanks for conforming the bug. Do you know a work around with the API so I can avoid the crash until this is fixed?

Probably settings "auto save " is enabled? The settings have a new auto save feature. This is not a file related thing.

Here is an strace of when it crashed, I got it under Winx64 10, MSYS. Probably not that useful

Please record a video of how you are crashing Blender. Your steps are not detailed enough to understand what is going on.

Thanks for the reply. All this sounds good.

I would like to ask the Blenderkit dev if this addon collects data on the users even if the addon is not actively used inside Blender.

I just tested this with Python API, and the issue seems to be the result of the center being calculated by averaging the vert locations. Using bounding box of the selected vertices produces much better middle positioning.

I think this modifier bug was affecting other exporters as well.

Thanks Bretch, I will test it and follow up here.

Who knew? Interesting feature at best. I agree with you that this should be off. thanks for the tip

It can be reproduced by disabling your network connection. Any code that does network access needs to handle exceptions.

Thanks for the follow up, I am going to test it and follow up here.

I might be able to take the addon maintainer responsibility if the role is mostly reviewing the addons and communicating with the addon developers for inclusion. Just an idea.

I am wondering if someone else also do a basic test with this to see, it crashes their Blender as wel. I cant find why this crashes Blender.

All this sounds really really good, thanks for working on it.

I am wondering if this patch can also deal with drag and drop of external meshes like an obj from the system's file browser? Rigth now one has to go through import to do all that but most 3d applications support drag and drop of mesh from outside.

Ok I actually went ahead and mapped right button (well it is top and bottom on a pen) of my Wacom tablet to "Ctrl - Left" ,so my right click is actually a lasso selection now. As far as I can tell this is quite a workflow improvement, at least for me and I can definietely recommend this combo to be part of Blender as an option.

I have been a left click (with a wacom tablet) user in Blender for a long time. It worked perfectly for me, especially because I liked the tweaking functionality where I do not need to press a second button to do my model tweaks or animations, just like dragging a node in the node editor.

That is why I added as FR: (Feature request)

@Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) thanks for the pointers.
