I have a wierd issues with the box modify on blender 4.3. I was editing my gp strokes with ctrl T. I'm not sure what happen but i'm not able to select my strokes again. At first i suspected that i might accidently disable something but when i draw a new line on the same keyframe i can select it. Only the previous one is disabled. After a while the blender file start to crash when i select the key frame.

My steps is something like this iinm:

  1. Draw using pp_rough. Brush was marked as an asset on another file.
  2. Edit mode modify using control T. And confirm. Exit to draw mode.
  3. Probably accidentaly hit ctrl Z until back to box modify again.
  4. Unable to select after exit from box modify mode the second time.
  5. Start to crash when selecting.
  6. Crash when activating onion skin.
  7. Recover using previous version.
  8. Disabled ctrl T and pp_ brushes.
  9. Issues not repeating so far.

Other than that awesome plugin. Never had this issue when in 4.2

When pressing Ctrl+Z right after applying box deform, you're going back in lattice edit, but without the addon's modal running to control the operations.

If you're in this situation, just pressing Ctrl+T will re-run the modal and reconnect everything, then you can continue editing and applying correctly.

It usually works, but still, going to lattice edit after apply with Ctrl+Z can gives unexpected result, and in worse cases, crashes. So best to avoid when you can ;)

Thank you for the rating !

Just the timeline scrub and view rotation features make this a 5⭐ for me Specially useful for drawing tablet users

Really amazing addon. Thank you so much for sharing. There is one issue however with the "Download and import texture brush pack" option. When clicked works perfectly and installs the brushes. But this step always has to be repeated when you close and open Blender 4.2.3 again. Even if you click the "Save Preferences" button after download/installing the brushes, they will be gone the next time you open Blender and you have to click this "Download and import texture brush pack" option again.

Hi, About the brush not remaining in blends, it's because brushes belongs to the blend-data, not preferences.
So basically, they have nothing to do with the addon :)
It's the same thing as importing brushes manually, except the addon provide an automatic way.

What you can do to keep them around is simply adding them to your startup file, here is how:

  • Use File > New then select the startup preset where you want them to remain.
  • Add a GP object and import the brushes in draw mode, as you're use to (you can then remove the GP object, if you don't want it to stay in the startup scene)
  • Use File > Defaults > Save Startup File.
  • Done ;)

Important note: For Blender 4.3 and futures, download and install brush feature is removed. The new native asset system works very differently and it will allow to get online brush natively in the future without the need for any addon.

Thank you for the kind review !

To me this is the only necessary add on for grease pencil. With out it i can't even use gp at all. It adds all the necessary functionality you need to draw in 2d. You need to rotate your canvas , you need a button to instantly unzoom and re center your view (Zoom fit) , You need to flip your canvas (mirror flip) , and you need a Box transformer/warper . Like Node Wrangler it really should be a part of blender by default.

'module' object has no attribute 'VIEW3D_MT_edit_gpencil_transform'

Hi, sorry, you must have tried the 1.8.6 on blender 4.3 beta I forgot to limit maximum version to 4.2 on previous release. Now there is a new dedicated version for 4.3, you can update and this should be fixed. If possible, when you see those kinds of error, please report on the addon repository issues (you can still post here if you prefer to avoid creating a github account).

Thank you for kindly reporting.

If you are doing any sort of freehand sketching, this tool is a “must-have”... if only due to its rotate canvas and mirror features. Of course it has more and is nicely documented .

Excellent tool, the rotate canvas is indispensable.

It unfortunately doesn't work with Blender 4.3 builds yet due to updates to menu registration due to GP3 changes.
