Hello all together.
We know that Blender defines the view presets for the 3D View from the user’s perspective.
As an example choosing ‘left’ from the view menu (or shortcut ctrl+numpad 3) offers a view ‘from the left side’. Blender shows me the side of the object that lies left viewed from my front perspective.
Apparently I think (or see) different than others. Anyway this interpretation of view directions doesn’t match to what I mean if I want to look at an object ‘from the left side’ and therefor I would like to change the shortcuts for operations like this.
If I want to look at an object from the left side I mean that I want to see the left side of the object. For the default preferences in Blender this means ‘right’ (the side of the object that is ‘right hand side’ from the user’s front perspective.
So I would define ‘numpad 3’ as ‘left’ in order to make the object rotate to the left so I can see the right side of the object. ‘ctrl+numpad 3’ would be ‘right’ then in order to make the object turn to the right so I can see the left side of the object.
My point now:
A) After changing the shortcuts the names of the view directions stay the same for the time beeing. How can I change the names in the appropriate script that way that ‘right’ is displayed when typing ‘numpad 3’ and ‘left’ is displayed when typing ‘ctrl+numpad 3’?
B)
How can I change the names of the directions in the script for the appropriate pie menu in 2.72 also?
C)
Last but not least: How can I change the positions of the entries for the view directions in the appropriate pie menu? In any case I would have to move the ‘right’ button to the right side and the ‘left’ button to the left side after changing the names.
I would be really grateful for help and support.
