A quick hack of the standard Curve Exposure tool. The update allows you to Ctrl/Cmd-Click a Point on a curve and have that point set as the start anchor point of the Exposure Curve.
How to use:
- Select the SS Curve Exposure tool
- Ctrl-Click on the desired start point
If the new-start-point change works - then the point will be the only point selected. Click or Ctrl-Click that point again to select all connected points.
Notes:
For the new feature to work successfully...
The Shape Curve of the selected point must:
- be Stroked/Outlined
- be Closed
- have more than 2 points
The selected Point must not:
- already be the first point
If the point is not set-able or already set as the start of the curve, then all connected points will be selected. This is similar to the selection behaviour of the standard tool, and also allows you to Ctrl double-Click a point to make it the Start exposure point and then permit the exposure function to work as normal.
Behind the scenes it works pretty much in a manner illustrated by @EricTheFish on the LostMarble Forum. i.e. Add a new point, Delete Edge, Weld points and Fix the Shape.
