                Hi fredo...

                About the offset on surface the external offset deletes the original surface... is there a way to keep the original surface like in the previous version? In the image I put in "1" the external offset, in "2" the actual result and in "3" what i´m trying to get.

                About the icons and cursors i tried to make them.. but i can´t do the ones with Cline. The ones i can don´t look very good... but i post them here.

                Daniel S

                      Sorry for this. I fixed the bug and reloaded on the first message of this thread.

                          great! this is very useful on not-curved-surfaces because you don't have to worry about intersecting with other lines!

                            This tool also is much better at making .png cut-outs than the regular SU tool.

                                Have you ever tried to draw around a complex shape and the line occasionally changes axis thus not closing?, well this hugs the surface and those issues are a thing of the past.

                                  Fair enough, i'll admit i havent done a lot of cutting out with .pngs, but when i did do it i didnt find the freehand tool to bad. Obviously need to do more 2d components 👍

                                    Fredo, here's some icons - see if you like them...

                                    i noticed that the draw line cursor is the same as the draw line icon on the toolbar.

                                    this is not good because the sizes differ (toolbars are 24x24 - cursors 32x32)
                                    so i created a cursor called 'ofs_draw_Dline.png' - you just need to tweak the script to fit this update and then the tip of the pencil will fall right on the line as you draw.

                                    cheers

                                        Chip, I was attempting to do my own version of your model and came up with this:

                                        😆 😆
                                        Tell someone "that was made in sketchup" a year ago. 🤓
