$500 for inference engine plugin
-
I was thinking of maybe making the Gizmo I'm working on for Bezier Surface and Vertex Tools into a standalone plugin. One could then define custom axis for the gizmo - pick from model entities (lines, planes etc) So for basic operations like move, rotate and scale it'd be something that would work without inference.

I like the thought of a gizmo.

I can't imagine working in AutoCAD LT without Osnaps. The F3 key turns snapping on or off universally and the Osnaps panel lets you choose the particular snaps that are 'on'. My work flow all day long is a continual dialogue with the software as to what I want to snap to: INT (intersection) / MID (midpoint) / NEA (nearest), QUA (quadrant), etc.
It's one of the reasons why AutoCAD LT is my main application with SketchUp used for 3D work.

yes, tools on surface is great, but doesn't address the snapping issue, nor trying to draw a line in space. I was thinking construction plane would be helpful, but again you run into inferencing for something just off-axis.
FreeHand is a polyline tool where you can enable or disable inference and snapping. It works without a surface too. It has a pick & click mode and a freehand mode.
The only thing is that whenever it encounters a surface it follows it.
But I can make a special version that behaves more like the line tool if this is useful.Fredo

Wow! What a blessed day in sketchucation world!! (sarcastic aside to solo, cornel, et al...
)If you can make a line tool like that in your Fredo world of plugins, I just may call this program FredoUp... Your tools are so amazingly good and useful. I can't imagine my workflow in sketchup without them. Many thanks to you! Not to mention someone may be shelling out $500. I may wish to add to that amount...
