In the new Blender 2.80 in the “3D View” window (3D Viewport), when scrolling a wheel to zoom or pressing the num pad buttons (1, 3, 7, 9) to center the view to different sides, the projection mode automatically changes between orthographic and perspective.

Blender 2.80 Beta released now.
This version available for download from the official developer Blender site builder.blender.org/download
Highlights:
BIS (Blender Interplanety Storage) update to v.1.4.2.
To check in what version of Blender the blend file was saved:
|
1 |
bpy.data.version |
Or open the blend file in any text editor, for example in Notepad++. The Blender version will be listed in the first 15 characters.
Also, the version of the open blend file can be viewed in the Outliner window in the Data Blocks group:
A complete list of add-ons installed in Blender we can get using the addon_utils:
|
1 2 3 4 |
import addon_utils print(addon_utils.modules()[:]) # <module 'space_view3d_3d_navigation' from ... |
Having the add-ons list, we can get the version of the desired add-on by its name with the following code:
|
1 2 3 4 |
import addon_utils print([addon.bl_info.get('version', (-1,-1,-1)) for addon in addon_utils.modules() if addon.bl_info['name'] == 'ADD-ON_NAME'][0]) # (1,4,0) |
Where the ADD-ON_NAME is the name of the desired add-on.
If the add-on is missing a version indication, the default result will be returned.
|
1 |
# (-1,-1,-1) |
BIS (Blender Interplanety Storage) update to v.1.4.1.
Change the mesh_select_mode property to switch in mesh edit mode between vertex, edge and polygon selection mode in Blender.
For vertex selection mode:
|
1 |
bpy.context.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode = (True, False, False) |
Edge selection mode:
|
1 |
bpy.context.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode = (False, True, False) |
And face selection mode:
|
1 |
bpy.context.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode = (False, False, True) |
The multi-select mode is enabled too. For example for vertex and face selection mode:
|
1 |
bpy.context.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode = (True, False, True) |
In BMesh for vertex, edge and face selection mode:
|
1 2 3 |
bm.select_mode = {'VERT'} bm.select_mode = {'EDGE'} bm.select_mode = {'FACE'} |
For multi-select in BMesh:
|
1 |
bm.select_mode = {'VERT', 'EDGE', 'FACE'} |
