Random selection

Smart ? Thats not me
Found this by Accident.
I am just curious and like to experiment.@VectorStyler is the smart guy

@vectorstyler I noted you included this request in backlog. Thank you for that.
I’ve been using Vectorstyler a lot since I submitted that request and I still feel this feature would really add a lot of value. Maybe after 1.3 ....
Some suggestions on possible implementation options :
- a dedicated panel seem needed
- a percentage value determines how many objects get selected out of the total
- limit to current selection option : when ticked considers only objects currently selected, for random selection. When unticked considers all objects in document/layer/artboard/view
- seed button/value changes the seed for random selection, the selected objects are highlighted
- select button : performs the selection, the selected objects are highlighted
additional « nice to have »
Pattern selection
- select every n/m object : example "select every 2/3" selects 2 objects every 3 objects. Allows for repetitive pattern selection
- sort by : object index (the order by which objects were created), layer order, left to right position, top to bottom position, radius from center : defines the sorting criteria for applying the n/m selection
- offset : allows to shift the first object selected out of the m subset
Nodes
- select nodes : with this option ticked, allows random selection of nodes across multiple objects (so we can move them, or change their type …)
Thanks

@EricP The random selection will in 1.3, as for the rest, not sure yet. These are easy to do (and can be very useful), but time is limited for 1.3
-
@VectorStyler oh wow that's great ! I wasn't even expecting it for 1.3.
I will wait patiently
Thanks ! -
Did you ever had a look at "Paragraphic" (PC/Mac) it may be
helpful in some cases. As i like to experiment, i find it a nice
companion besides VectorStyler. Results made in Paragraphic
could be easely copied via the Clipboard into VectorStyler.It offers also a few possibilities for Pattern selection,
which my not be direct helpful but maybe indirect.Here a Thread of mine

@Subpath yes I have been using paragraphic for a while and it is indeed a great tool and beautifully designed software. It is great for nested repeaters and geometric patterns

Indeed it is a nice companion to VS.
I'm currently experimenting with the Layer node, which allows
coloring vector objects using a bitmap. -
which allows coloring vector objects using a bitmap.
Using the Repeater’s Region or the Colorize (Effects menu) Region to color vector objects is also very convenient. I use them often and recorded a video for your reference.

WOOOW!
Cool, will take a look and a
big thanks for making the video

@Li-Xiao thanks for the video ! That's funny, my next YT tutorial is about colorizer function and I'm also going to demonstrate the region coloring mode, which I like the best. I like the trick about clipping the image to adjust zoom and pan of reference image, that is smart.
