Hi, every now and then menu names seem a bit vague or meaningless...
Is there any problem with renaming mwnu items (docs need changing...
translation?)
Here are 2 examples of items that can be renamed.
Mesh Specials
.... Smooth > Smooth Geometry
....Set Smooth > Set Faces Smooth
....Set Solid > Set Faces Solid
The UV manu is the worst :) A friend of mine who has been in the 3d
industry for years commented that the names didnt make much sense.
...Cube > Cube Projection
...Cylinder > Cylindrical View Projection
...Sphere > Spherical View Projection
...LSCM > LSCM Unwrap
...Bounds to 1/8 > View Project to UV Bounds 1/8
..........same for 1/4 1/2... etc
...Standard 1/8 > Default UV coords 1/8
.........same for others
...From View > View Projection
Rationale for changes
- The word View shows that calculating the coords is based on the
current 3d view.
- LSCM isnt somthing most people would have heard of, even 3d artists
who have not used blender. Include the work unwrap so people know what
it is.
- Bounds 1/1 means almost nothing.. This a view projection stretches to
the UV bounds. having the word project is important./
- From window? do what from window.... again, this is a projection.
In some cases the names may be a bit long and cold be shortened...
