      maybe many of you already know that, but also, maybe are more who don't know it. I just figured it out 😍
      Well, what is all about? Make a geometry (a cube) and post on top of it a component which have Glue feature. Then push-pull the surface. You will notice that the glued component moves along with the face πŸ’š. It works in any direction, just put a component that glues on that face.

        yes, I've noticed.
        is very practical for some examples.

        I wonder if you can create a plugin that allows to "glue" components to geometry, no?

          In code you set a component's 'behavior' to mimic a handmade one - there are methods like defn.is2d=true, defn.cuts_opening=true, defn.snapto=SnapTo_Arbitrary [or other snap-types] etc
          and then instance.glue_to(face) to set the face the instance glues to... etc etc...

            Thanks for responding. πŸ˜’ πŸ˜’
            TIG Excuse me, sir, but do not understand the red text

            What is it?

            maybe, a plugin would be a good idea just to the context menu.

            that works as follows:

            1 - select the components
            2 - right mouse click> context menu> glue

              There 'red' text shows Ruby code...
              There are ready several 'glue/reglue' scripts...
              There's even a context-menu one as part of my HolePunchTool...
              Search the Plugins Index for them...
