<!--
Tooltips are added in format:
# Widget
Tooltip
-->
<!-- main.py -->
<!-- Options Menu -->
# importCurves
Imports Curves that were Exported using the Export Button.
NOTE: Only import files that were exported using Export Curves button.
WARNING: This operation is NOT undoable!
# exportCurves
Exports selected curves into a .curves (or .ma) file. Can then be Imported using Import Curves.
# changeScaleFactor
Opens a window that controls the Scale Factor and Precision Scale.
***
Scale factor determines the initial size of the created curve and adjusts other parameters.
Scale factor is stored in a global preset, in the scene and on each curve.
Priority of scale factors Curve>Scene>Global.
Setting the appropriate scale factor before starting a project can help to have a good initial Width and size of the cards.
***
Precision Scale controls the world scale of the curve without changing the curve appearance, CV positions and other parameters.
Lowering the Precision scale (from 1.0 to 0.05 for example) helps to fix the geometry deformation on very small curves.
The default value of 0.05 should be sufficient for most cases. Values lower than 0.01 can affect performance.
***
Normalize Selected and Normalize Selected to Default will change the Scale Factor and Precision Scale of the selected curves, without changing their appearance or CV positions.
Normalize Selected to Default will reset the slider values to default (0.5 and 0.05) and Normalize Selected will use the current slider values.
# normalizeSelectedButton
Normalize selected curves to the chosen slider values.
Normalization will not change the CV positions or geometry appearance, but the selected objects will have new Scale Factor and Precision Scale applied.
# normalizeSelectedToDefaultButton
Normalize selected curves to the default slider values (0.5, 0.05).
Resets the slider values to the default.
Normalization will not change the CV positions or geometry appearance, but the selected objects will have new Scale Factor and Precision Scale applied.
# saveScaleFactorAndPrecisionScaleButton
Saves the selected slider values to the global storage and to the current scene.
New scenes will automatically have these Scale Factor and Precision Scale values.
NOTE: This will not apply the new values to already existing objects. See Normalize buttons.
# saveScaleFactorAndPrecisionScaleButtonAndClose
Saves the selected slider values to the global storage and to the current scene.
New scenes will automatically have these Scale Factor and Precision Scale values.
Closes the window after save.
NOTE: This will not apply the new values to already existing objects. See Normalize buttons.
# closePrecisionScaleWindow
Close this window without save
# globalCurveThickness
Opens a window that controls the thickness of the curves in the scene as well as the global curve thickness preset across the scenes.
# setAOSettings
Manually sets the recommended AO settings for older Maya versions.
These AO settings are needed to use the "See Through" or "Toggle Always on Top" functions.
Are applied automatically by those functions.
# setTransparencySettings
Sets recommended transparency settings for Maya viewport.
***
Simple Transparency is fast but very inaccurate render mode. Only suitable for simple, one layer hair.
Object Sorting Transparency has average performance impact and quality. Can have issues on complex multi-layered grooms.
Depth Transparency - these are the optimal settings for the highest quality of the hair cards preview. Can have performance impact on slower systems.
# convertToWarpCard
Converts selection to Warp Cards.
Compatible attributes are retained.
# convertToWarpTube
Converts selection to Warp Tubes.
Compatible attributes are retained.
# convertToExtrudeCard
Converts selection to Extrude Cards.
Compatible attributes are retained.
# convertToExtrudeTube
Converts selection to Extrude Tubes.
Compatible attributes are retained.
# duplicateUnparentCurves
Duplicates selected NURBS curves and unparents them (parents them to the world).
Original curves are not deleted.
Can be used to easily extract and export curves from GS CurveTools objects.
# syncCurveColor
Toggles the syncing of the curve color to the layer color.
# colorizedRegroup
Toggles the colorization of the regrouped layers when Regroup by Layer function is used.
# colorOnlyDiffuse
Colorize only the diffuse component of the card material.
Alpha will stay the same.
# checkerPattern
Toggles the use of the checker pattern when the Color mode is enabled.
# ignoreLastLayer
Toggles the filtering (All, Curve, Geo) and Extraction (Extract All) of the last layer. If enabled, the last layer is ignored.
NOTE: Last layer is typically used for templates, so it is ignored by default.
# ignoreTemplateCollections
Ignores the filtering (All, Curve, Geo) and Extraction (Extract All) of all the collections that have "template" in their name. Case insensitive.
# groupTemplateCollections
Collections that have "template" in their name (case insensitive) will be grouped together into "CT_Templates" group by Regroup By Layer function.
# syncOutlinerLayerVis
Syncs the outliner and layer visibility. If enabled, hiding the layer will also hide the curve groups in the outliner.
# keepCurveAttributes
If enabled, the attributes that are stored in the curve will be restored if the curve that was duplicated (on its own, without the geo) is used to create other cards or tubes.
If disabled, the attributes will be ignored and reset.
Example:
1. Create a card and change its twist value.
2. Ctrl+D and Shift+P the curve (not the curve group).
3. Click Curve Card and the twist value will be restored on a newly created card.
# boundCurvesFollowParent
Will ensure that moving a parent curve in a Bound Object (Bound Group) will also move all the child curves along with it to a new layer. Recommended to keep this enabled.
# massBindOption
Will bind selected hair clump (or geometry) to all selected "empty" curves.
# bindDuplicatesCurves
Will automatically duplicate the curves before binding them to the curve, leaving old curves behind with no edits.
# bindFlipUVs
Enabling this option will flip the UVs of the original cards before binding them to the curve.
It will also automatically flip the bound geo and rotate it 90 deg.
This option will also flip the UVs back when using Unbind for better workflow.
Disabling this option will result in an old Bind/Unbind behaviour.
# unpackDeleteOriginalObject
Unpack (Shift + Click on Unbind) will delete the original Bind object.
# unpackCVMatch
Unpack (Shift + Click on Unbind) will match the CVs of the original Bind object.
# addBetweenBlendAttributes
Enables blending of the attributes when using Add Cards/Tubes or Fill functions.
# fillCreateCurvesOnly
When enabled Fill function will only create curves (not the geo).
# convertInstances
Will automatically convert instanced curves to normal curves before any other function is applied.
# replacingCurveLayerSelection
Will disable additive selection for the layers. When holding Ctrl and clicking on a new layer, old layer will be deselected automatically.
# useAutoRefineOnNewCurves
Automatically enables auto-refine on the new curves.
# flipUVsAfterMirror
Enabling this option will flip the UVs horizontally after mirroring the cards to achieve exact mirroring.
# enableTooltips
Will toggle the visibility of these tooltips you are reading right now.
# showLayerCollectionsMenu
Shows layer collections menu widget.
# importIntoANewCollection
If enabled, all the imported curves will be placed into a new "Imported Curves" layer collection.
If disabled, all the imported curves will be placed into the "Main" layer collection
# layerNumbersOnly

# convertToNewLayerSystem
Converts all the layers in the scene to a new layer system that is hidden from the Channel Box Display Layers window.
Layers can still be accessed from Window->Relationship Editors->Display Layer window.
# updateLayers
Utility function that will manually update all layers. Used for if layers are correct for some reason.
# resetToDefaults
Resets every option and the GS CurveTools to the default "factory" state.
# maya2020UVFix
This function will fix any broken UVs when trying to open old scenes in Maya 2020 or 2022 or when opening scenes in 2020 and 2022 when using Maya Binary file type. This will have no effect on older versions of Maya (<2020). This bug is native to Maya and thus can’t be fixed in GS CurveTools plug-in.
# mayaFixBrokenGraphs
This function will attempt to fix all the broken graphs in the scene.
Use if one of the graphs (Width, Twist or Profile) is in a broken state.
# convertBezierToNurbs
Converts the selected Bezier curves to NURBS curves.
Bezier curves are not supported by the GS CurveTools.
# maya2020TwistAttribute
This function will fix any broken cards created in Maya 2020.4 before v1.2.2 update.
# maya2020UnbindFix
This function will fix any cards that are not unbinding properly and were created before v1.2.3 update in Maya 2020.4.
# deleteAllAnimationKeys
This function will delete all the animation keys on all the curves present in the scene.
This can fix deformation issues when using duplicate or other GS CurveTools functions.
Some functions (like duplicate) will delete the keys automatically, however the keys can still cause issues.
<!-- Main Buttons -->
# warpSwitch
Advanced cards and tubes suitable for longer hair.
Additional options and controls.
Slower than Extrude (viewport performance).
Can have issues on very small scales.
# extrudeSwitch
Simple cards and tubes suitable for shorter hair and brows.
Has limited controls.
Much faster than Warp (viewport performance).
Better for small scales.
# newCard
Creates a new Card in the middle of the world. Used at the beginning of the project to create templates.
# newTube
Creates a new Tube in the middle of the world. Used at the beginning of the project to create templates.
# curveCard
Converts selected Maya curve to CurveTools Card.
# curveTube
Converts selected Maya curve to CurveTools Tube.
# gsBind
Binds selection to a single curve. Creates a Bind Group. Selection options:
1. Single "empty" curve (default Maya curve) and single combined geometry.
2. Single "empty" curve (default Maya curve) and any number of Curve Cards and Curve Tubes.
***
Shift + Click will duplicate the original curves/geo before binding it to the empty curve.
Same option is available in the Options menu (Duplicate Curves Before Bind).
# gsUnbind
Normal Click:
UnBinds geometry or Cards/Tubes from selected Bound object.
Geometry and Cards/Tubes will be placed at the origin.
***
Shift + Click:
Will UNPACK the selected Bind object in-place.
Unpack will attempt to create an in-place approximation of the cards and tubes that Bind object consists of.
Basically it will extract the geometry and create cards (or tubes) based on that geometry.
The original Bind object will be deleted in the process. Optionally, you can keep it (toggle in the options menu).
This operation is not procedural, so you will not be able to return back to the Bind object after (unlike regular UnBind).
WARNING: Unpack is not a 1 to 1 conversion. It will try its best to approximate the shape, but complex twists and bends will not be captured.
# addCards
Creates Cards in-between selected Cards based on the Add slider value.
Bound objects are NOT supported.
NOTE: Selection order defines the direction of added Cards if more than 2 initial Cards are selected.
# addTubes
Creates Tubes in-between selected Tubes based on the Add slider value.
Bound objects are NOT supported.
NOTE: Selection order defines the direction of added Tubes if more than 2 initial Tubes are selected.
# gsFill
Creates Cards/Tubes or Bound Groups in between selected Cards/Tubes or Bound Groups based on the Add slider value.
NOTE 1: Selection order defines the direction of added curves if more than 2 initial curves are selected.
NOTE 2: The type of Card or Tube or Bound Group is defined by the previous curve in the selection chain.
NOTE 3: Options -> Fill Creates Only Curves option will make the Fill function create only NURBS curves, but not the geo.
# gsSubdivide
Subdivides selected curve into multiple curves based on the Add slider value
Shift + Click subdivides selected curve but does not delete the original curve
# gsEdgeToCurve
Converts selected geometry edges to curves.
Multiple unconnected edge groups can be selected at the same time.
***
Key Combinations:
Shift + Click will create a curve without the curvature (first degree curve or simply a line)
# gsGeoToCurve
Opens the Geo-to-Curve UI
Geo to Curve algorithm will attempt to generate GS CurveTools cards and tubes from selected geometry.
Selected geometry should be either one-sided cards or regular tubes without caps (or both).
Multi-selection compatible, but selected geometries should be separate objects and not one combined object.
# layerCollectionsComboBox
Layer collections drop-down menu.
Allows to separate the project into different layer collections, up to 80 layers in each collection.
Has additional functionality in marking menu (Hold RMB):
***
Marking menu:
1. Clear - will delete all the cards from the current layer. Undoable operation.
2. Merge Up, Merge Down - merge all the cards from the current layer to the layer above or below it.
3. Copy, Paste - will copy all the cards from the current layer and paste them to the layer that user selects.
4. Move Up, Move Down - will rearrange the current layer collections by moving the currently selected collection up or down in the list.

To apply Mirror, Solidify or Delete Node to the instantiated part - switch to "Inst" toggle. Inst toggle will highlight the functions that will be applied to the instance part.
Mirroring the instance (using inst toggle) will allow to have a interactive procedural mirror that will work with poly modeling and most of the functions.
Booleans can be applied to the original object (it will be in wireframe mode) and combined with mirror this will allow for interactive mirrored Booleans.
Solidify can be applied to the one-sided Instance+ object to create procedural geometry strips with thickness.
Delete Node on instance will undo (remove nodes) the last procedural modifier (Mirror, Solidify).
Apply Inst+ button will remove the history and return the instance as a normal object for further editing.
# gsInstancePlusApply
Will delete the history on the instance plus object, clean up and return the instance mesh as a regular mesh for further editing.
# gsInstancePlusMeshToggle

# gsStoreEdits
Store Edits will store the polygonal edits on the object (poly tweaks) allowing the use of the "Delete Node" command to undo edits on the object.
Every vert, edge and poly edit can be stored, essentially allowing to undo any edit. Multiple edits can be stored in one "chunk" and it will be undone in one "Delete Node" click.
When the Store Edits button is highlighted (orange, no white outline) this means there are unstored edits on the selected object.
When the Store Edits button is highlighted (orange WITH white outline) this means the object is not initialized for edit storage, and the button should be clicked to initialize it.
# gsUndoEdit
Normal Click - will delete the last history node applied to the current object, undoing the edits (including polygon edits).
Shift + Click - will delete the selected node only (using Select button from Attribute Editor).
# gsSnapshot
Will store a snapshot of the object in a special group in the outliner. The snapshot will respect the transformations of the original object.
Normal Click - will store the snapshot (with history). The original object is not modified.
Shift + Click - will store a snapshot (with history). The original object will have its construction history deleted.
# gsExtractSnapshot
Extracts the selected snapshot from the group.
Normal Click - duplicate the snapshot from the group (the original snapshot stays in the group).
Shift + Click - extract the snapshot from the group (removing it from the group).
# gsSnapToPoly
Snaps selected polygon objects to the selected faces.
Selection order sensitive. If multiple polygonal objects are selected, will create a repeating pattern from the selection based on the selection order and number of faces.
Hold RMB for marking menu:
- Simple Snap will duplicate and snap the objects to the mesh.
- Instance + Snap will instantiate the objects before snapping. Original objects can be edited to edit all the instances on the mesh after snap.
- Pre-Duplication will ensure that the original objects are left behind for editing purposes.
Normal Click will snap the objects to the mesh.
Shift + Click will attempt to center the pivots on the objects (might not work in some cases).
# gsSolidify
Will add thickness to the mesh (extrude). Mainly used in combination with Instance+ to achieve the procedural ribbon mesh with thickness effect.
Shift + Click - will add the thicknes to the other side of the mesh.
Hold RMB for additional options:
- Local translate - will use local translate for thickness. Might not have the perfect uniform thickness.
- Thickness - will use thickness for extrusion. Might have visual artifacts on the sharp edges.
# gsStraighten
Will straighten selected edges (only edges). Multiple edge groups can be selected at a time (not connected edges).
Normal Click - will straighten the edges projecting them to the straight line (no equalization).
Shift + Click - will straighten the edges and equalize them, making the edges the same length.
Hold RMB for additional options:
- Local X, Y, Z - will straighten the edges on the local axis (object space). Works for verts, edges and faces.
- World X, Y, Z - will straighten the edges based on the world axis (world space). Works for verts, edges and faces.
Local and World straightening also works for verts and faces, not only edges.
# gsInterpolate
Will interpolate selected edges to an arc that is made from first, last and middle vert of the selected edge group.
Moving those key edges will change the shape of the arc.
Edges will always be made equal length in the process.
Multiple edge groups can be selected (unconnected edges).
# gsSmooth
Will smooth the selected edges based on the smoothing value (on the left).
# gsSmoothField
Smooth strength. Controls the smoothing strength of the Smooth button.
# gsFillWithQuads
Will fill the polygon hole with equally spaced quads based on the selection patterns:
1. One vert selected - will produce a best guess fill. Can incorrectly estimate the shape of the polygon hole.
2. Two verts selected - the best way to control the distribution of quads.
Selecting two corners of the hole will ensure the best result.
Selecting any other two verts will change the pattern which might be desirable for creative purposes.
# gsCombine
Will combine selected meshes into one cleanly. All the extraneous transform nodes will be grouped and hidden in the outliner. To view them, select "Ignore Hidden In Outliner".
# gsSeparate
Will separate selected meshes cleanly. All the extraneous transform nodes will be grouped and hidden in the outliner. To view them, select "Ignore Hidden In Outliner".
# gsDuplicate
Will duplicate selected faces from the object cleanly. All the extraneous transform nodes will be grouped and hidden in the outliner. To view them, select "Ignore Hidden In Outliner".
# gsExtract
Will extract selected faces from the object cleanly. All the extraneous transform nodes will be grouped and hidden in the outliner. To view them, select "Ignore Hidden In Outliner".
Normal Click - extract the faces but do not separate them from the object.
Shift + Click - extract the faces and separate them into a separate object.
