Actions

Actions in botcha are a set of automated commands that can be automatically executed when something change in the document. These automation can be built in a stack so that the model you are building can be parametrically edited quite easily.

Each action has three main component:

• A set of original objects
• A set of generated objects
• A number of parameters

the action is applied to each origin object every time one of these changes. Most of the actions also have a reverse that is applied whenever one of the generated object is changed, this updates the original object to match the generated one. The parameters control how each action is applied to the various objects.

B_ActionCreate, B_ActionEdit, B_ActionRemove

The command for action creation, deletion and change can be triggered using the action panel. Each action has a number of required inputs that are needed in order for the action to work. Once created the action will be added to the stack of actions available where it can be changed and deleted.

Remap

Allow you to remap any number of object from one surface, mesh or subD to another one. It behaves in the same way as the Remap command but automatically execute on the objects that are captured.

Planar quad mesh

This action will generate a planar quad mesh starting from a boundary closed curve, the curve can be stacked with the rest of the actions to generate a model from planar curve.

Array on mesh

Similar to what you have on the array on curve command, this action will allow to copy a number of time a given object on a surface. The various option you have will allow you to change either the amount or the distance on which to apply the array.
