Vertex positions to clipboard

Latest release (version 1.0)
Download Windows version 1.0 (plugin + source code)

This plugin and code are freely distributable. This plugin has not been tested on versions of AC3D prior to version 6.0.

Description

Copies the selected vertices' X/Y/Z coordinates to the Windows clipboard. Vertices are copied in X/Y/Z order. Tabs are inserted between XYZ elements, and a newline occurs after each vertex position.

Vertices are not copied in any specific order.

This plugin is most useful to developers or those working closely with vertex data and want to be able to quickly dump vertex positions into another app for testing/experimenting with formulae (i.e., a spreadsheet). Otherwise, to get a quick dump of vertex positions for each triangle that composes your model, I recommend the "Triangle" export format which will dump the results to a file.

Installation

Copy the vert2clip.p file to your AC3D plugins folder (for example, if using Windows, C:\Program Files\AC3D\plugin) and (re)start AC3D.

You will find the "Vertex positions to clipboard" menu item under the "Tools" menu.
