Feature Suggestion - multi select parts

7,605 josephejkhdsfoidsf  8.7 years ago

My idea is that you could multi select parts and then duplicate them and move multiple parts as well. It could be useful for moving detailed designs to other areas of the plane/boat/creation. It could work by holding down ctrl (or another button, middle mouse button??) on pc. If you wanted it on mobile, add an extra button for multi selecting. Thank you.

Comment on any other ideas related.

    @NovaTopaz I mean nudge isn't really XML editing

    @Flightsonic I mean the idea in general. It would have extremely simplified what I had to do with the YF-23 because of the complex system(not that complex, but it was hard to do) that had to be used to get the V-tail's to work on rotators. Being able to move multiple parts without breaking their connection would be great in the cases where it's absolutely necessary. ... Ok, probably won't replace XML completely(there is still rotations and connections you simply can't do in the editor), but it would make the point of using it for multi-part assemblies that normally would have to, piece by piece, be put into position by XML(I forget if nudging allows a block to retain it's connections), and then connected to the rest of the aircraft by adding a connection.

    @Flightsonic Nudging a bunch of parts would completely remove the point of XML for me(unless I want custom stuff such as railguns or longer blocks), lol, so yes, please.

    Only problem, ctrl is what makes it so you don't select anything while draging

    That would be great, and possibly also mean you could nudge a bunch of parts at a time
