  • Real-time preview shows your menu as you build it
• Comprehensive Command Library:
  • Searchable database of all Plasticity commands (updated for 2025.2)
  • Load custom command dictionaries as new features are added

Ver 0.4.4- Windows & Mac (Apple Silicone)

• Updated Commands List as of PLASTICITY 2025.2 All new commands are included (let me know if something is missing.)
• You can now Drag Directly from commands list to Item sockets, (as well as previous behaviours Double Click, etc)
• You can roll the mouse wheel to increase and decrease the number of sockets on the canvas
• you can now delete menu items by selecting and pressing delete or backspace or Dragging to the trash in the centre of the menu preview
• Deprecated Custom Icons functionality as it's no longer possible since v2025+ to have custom Icons

Ver 0.4.3- Windows & MAC

• Added the ability to add custom labels
• Added a JSON preview that updates live as you make changes
• Bug Fixes & Code optimisation
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes the. radial was not exporting in the same order as what was reflected on the preview.

Ver 0.4.2- Windows & MAC(Intel)

• Reduced Maximum Total Available slots to 12 to match Plasticity
• Fixed a bug that would overlay commands in slots and ignore empty slots.
  the new behaviour is that when you add a command it will fill the first empty slot and ignore slots that already have commands.

Ver 0.4.1- Windows & MAC(Intel)

• Added Several Commands missing from the dictionary
• Commands Dictionary is now A separate file to make it easy for you to add commands which you can edit, you can also load custom commands dictionary - If you want to do this ensure you add commands as they are in the commands dictionary and save the file as a .py (example: mycustomdictionary.py)
  Example:

  command_icons = {
      "command:alternative-duplicate": "alternative-duplicate",
      "command:boolean": "boolean",
  # rest of your commands dictionary here
      "viewport:toggle-x-ray": "toggle-x-ray",
  
  }
  

  
  
• It now comes pre-loaded with several example files to get you started.

Ver 0.4- Windows & Mac(Intel)

• Now when you load a directory of nested menus it will populate the top of you command list with commands to add existing radials as commands, nested menus are automatically labelled as such and come with a default icon so you may want to change the icon
• You can now double click to add a command
• UI has been enlarged by a third and made overall more readable, Socket Numbers now are above the sockets. other minor tweaks

Ver 0.3 - Windows + MACOS(Intel)

• use any mouse button to reposition items, mouse 1 to select item.
• Replaced "delete last item" with "Delete Selected Item"
• Fixed bugs when repositioning Items
  -Now when you place an item on an unoccupied socket the item that is being replaced will fill another unoccupied socket
  -You now need to delete items if you have all sockets full and want to reduce the number of sockets, this fixes a bug of "un-socketing" items and another bug that kept reducing the sockets until there was only 3
• Changed the UI layout to be more readable.

Ver 0.2 -Windows(Intel)

• Added ability to load and edit existing .radial.jsons from an existing directory for example (C:\Users\yourname.plasticity\radials) -
• included 33 commands that were missing -
• Added more useful visual feedback
