[REQ] Make Square Centered at Point
-
This seems so simple that it must already exist, but I could not find it.
For example: I want to make a 4" square post at a specific spot. If I wanted a round post there I would just select the circle tool, place the cursor at the point and drag out (or put a value in the VCB).
I'd like to be able to do that for a square: select tool, place the cursor at the point and drag out (or put a value in the VCB)
I apologize if this already exists

LOL bob you can make your life difficult if you draw a 4 sided circle and explode it.
Or you can make your life painless if you draw a 4 sided polygon without exploding it.
Those two are native tools. Do you forget sketchup also has native tools?

Duh

(But still think it would be a useful one-click native tool)

The Polygon tool already is the useful native tool. It's no more work than using the circle tool.

Plus it's even better in 2015 because you have the Ctrl modifier to adjust it.

Done
But I have the extra step of entering a "4"

And if you forget the "4" in the beginning you have to both press "4" and "S" later. Two key presses and you'll be dead!
