      Hi.

      Is there a plugin that can see a toolbar with: dimensions / position / scale when selecting on an object? (like this in Blender - see the attachment:

      It would be nice to have this thing natively. For a modeler such tool is an absolute need.

      PS: the actual "Entity Info" it has so poor information.

        This can be created in the Pro Edition for a Component, by a component author.

        Then in both editions (Make & Pro,) these fields can be edited via the "Component Options" dialog.

        Here is a screen shot of a "BOX" component I made:

        πŸ’­

        Notice however that there is no scaling factors available. (The user would need to enter Lengths into the dialog, OR just use the ScaleTool.)

        I'm not here much anymore.

          Dan Rathbun, thanks for the info, unfortunately it is not so useful, imagine there are 300 components, and you must be add those entry attributes to the box for each. If only Position and Rotation would be added by default.

          I just wish SU would have that transform tool like many other CAD software has 😞
