tumbleCtx([alternateContext=boolean], [autoOrthoConstrain=boolean], [autoSetPivot=boolean], [exists=boolean], [history=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [localTumble=int], [name=string], [objectTumble=boolean], [orthoLock=boolean], [orthoStep=angle], [toolName=string], [tumbleScale=float])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
tumbleCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command can be used to create, edit, or query a tumble
context.
| string | The name of the context |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
|
alternateContext(ac)
|
boolean
|
 
|
|
Set the ALT+MMB and ALT+SHIFT+MMB to refer to this context.
|
|
autoOrthoConstrain(aoc)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Automatically constrain horizontal and vertical rotations when
the camera is orthographic. The shift key can be used to
unconstrain the rotation.
|
|
autoSetPivot(asp)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Automatically set the camera pivot to the selection or tool effect region
|
|
exists(ex)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Returns true or false depending upon whether the
specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
|
|
history(ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on
for the tool in question.
|
|
image1(i1)
|
string
|
|
|
First of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
image2(i2)
|
string
|
|
|
Second of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
image3(i3)
|
string
|
|
|
Third of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
localTumble(lt)
|
int
|
|
|
Describes what point the camera will tumble around:
- 0 for the camera's tumble pivot
- 1 for the camera's center of interest
- 2 for the camera's local axis, offset by its tumble pivot
|
|
name(n)
|
string
|
|
|
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
|
|
objectTumble(ot)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Make the camera tumble around the selected object, if true.
|
|
orthoLock(ol)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Orthographic cameras cannot be tumbled while orthoLock is on.
|
|
orthoStep(os)
|
angle
|
|
|
Specify the angular step in degrees for orthographic
rotation. If camera is orthographic and autoOrthoConstrain is
toggled on the rotation will be stepped by this amount.
|
|
toolName(tn)
|
string
|
|
|
Name of the specific tool to which this command refers.
|
|
tumbleScale(ts)
|
float
|
|
|
Set the rotation speed. A tumble scale of 1.0 will result in
in 40 degrees of rotation per 100 pixels of cursor drag.
