Hey everyone!
We’ve made the gizmos use the same tools as are employed by the regular joint editors. That change means visual consistency and an additional bonus in the form of being able to also edit the limits visually – which was impossible before.
Revolute/Spherical Joint
The revolute and spherical joint editor should feel familiar to regular joints, both in style and functionality. You can change the limits for each axis using the relevant handles. Each axis is denoted by a color, the same as regular joints.
Prismatic Joint
The prismatic joint editor is new. It shows the upper and lower limits of the joint with a green and red handle respectively.
For the free prismatic joint type, we just skip drawing the handles and draw the dashed line some distance in both directions
Anchor Transform Tool
This tool visualises both the anchor and the parent anchor position/rotation and allows to modify them from the scene view.
The gizmos will now only show up if the relevant tool is active:
Left - Joint Limit Tool - view and change Prismatic, Revolute or Spherical joint limits
Right - Anchor Transform Tool - view and change the positions and rotations of the anchors themselves
I’d really love to hear your feedback on this change.
The new visualisations should be available since 2021.2.0a21!
