Hi, Fredo:
I like the concept. A good standalone "simple" tool. It will make a good companion to Chris Fullmer's Three Lines Tool, which places a normal on edges, among two other functions. -
I believe there is somewhere a plug who convert Construction lines in real lines
for some fun exploration
OK this is Lines Converter by Rick Wilson
