- Draw perpendicular to edges
- select the default plane when shapes are drawn in the 'empty' space.

Typically, it can be used to draw a contour from a photo or texture which is applied to a surface.
FreeHandOnSurface provides 2 features that can be freely combined during a capture:- Disabling or enabling Sketchup inferenceswhen drawing
- Point & Clickfor each point captured or Click & Moveto capture points with a configurable samplingin pixel.

Thanks! Drawing shapes 'without' a surface - I had missed that feature.

Really like the feature of being able to draw shapes perpendicular to edges.
-
how to draw those shapes along the path?
