      How absolutely touching and poignant
      that image is, starts me thinking of the children in Gaza also, I can only shake my head

      What were your thoughts of "children of Gaza" when they raped and murdered thouthands in November 2023 ? How can you compare 2 situations..

      The plugin creates new (extended) edges without deleting the old (shorter) ones.
      Some additional extra steps (Edge inspector) are needed every time the fillet tool was used which is ridiculous. Its important because it creates overlapping profiles if this faulty linework will serve as paths in Profile Builder.

      @TIG any possibility to fix the overlapping lines bug please (described on 7 Dec 23, 3 posts above)? Or at least any comment? Thank you in advance

      @fredo6 Any chance to make inference work while moving vertices please?

      P.S. >>>For rounded corner, the radius is limited to half the length of the shortest connecting edge at the corner..
      Why such a strong limitation exists? Say I have L shape 200/100cm.. why the plugin can't create 99 cm fillet?

      OK, but it should not break scrolling.

      Deletion of faces happens when you change the number of vertices. It is somehow difficult to maintain the face.
      In many situations a banal vertex moving deletes face as well .

      It seems to me that if you created the curve with a specified plane, the edition of vertices will be along the plane.
      Unfortunately - no , it can easily run away from the plane. Also, if there are objects not laying on this plane - SU easily snaps to them.

      is it possible to implement scrolling\nudging based on exact user defined values ?
      currently there are no exact values on radius\tension changing. This feature would be extremely useful in other plugins where scrolling\nudging being used - PaintThru, Axiz etc.
      Thank you for attention

      Maybe I missed it, but Its surprising nobody reports this faulty behavior
      When changing radius with mouse wheel at some stage the plugin jumps to radius 0 and its impossible to change it anymore:
      46de5fcf-4b06-45f1-a575-30b95b339f2f-SketchUp_xnvqvDuEqQ.gif
      Also, any editing (adding, deleting, moving) in majority of situations would delete existing faces:
      fd3e3c11-cbe1-42a2-bf87-da80b479eb89-SketchUp_u5ON8lxRth.gif
      How about editing multiple curve at once:

      P.S. Fredo, It was requested in the past and its not implemented, but hope dies last: Is it possible to preserve plane constrains after editing is finished please? Thanks

      @designerbursa I took a closer look.. your version is indeed more advanced and user friendly, many thanks!
      P.S. you can cut and paste in place multiple and un-glued components in any SU version to get the same positive result, but your script is less laborious indeed.

      I hate this new new brief tap behavior - everything in 3D programs is built around continuous modifier key holding for decades and suddenly Trimble decided to change it like there's nothing more urgent left to do with SU

      @Rich-O-Brien Yes and no. without copying Select Instances+Axyz works fine.
      Maybe you with(?) Fredo could develop a new rock solid version of "select all instances"?
      BTW many people request "select all instances" that would copy all instances regardless the context to the memory buffer. the 20 y.o. one that I use can't do that.

      Select all 5 boxes with the plugin from post 8 and try to copy them via Axyz.
      I can't just believe you won't crash (however, without copying all transforms would works just fine)

      What exactly do you call "box select"? Blue cage around selected objrcts? but since when it should not happen?

      Dragging on empty space is reserved for widget sizing.
      wow, nice!
      I'm super happy SU finally has some intuitive and easy* to use gizmo-based tool especially for local transforms. Thank you and Fredo for creating and sharing!
      *- Formerly, for local transforms I had to use s4u transforms but its UI is too extra-terrestrial for me.

      Ruby console output if you click it?

      nothing:
      97a74664-8774-455b-9f42-739b8392377d-SketchUp_GXayNAmnFj.gif
      IMHO If the user selects any of AXYZ tools its logical to see the gizmo right from the beginning (based on previous settings); currently even if you set it to individual-center the extra click is still needed.

      >>Translation nudging is pixel based
      it's better then say decibels, but file units would be even more awesome
      Here are some other areas where some polishing might be nice:
      Sometimes it arbitrarily decides its a good idea to start copying:
      0ecba735-6bd0-4952-876a-33dba5ce9d67-SketchUp_soAXbMq9lv.gif

      I find it very confusing when staying in individual mode and clicking on it in the RCM for a 2nd time switches you into global (why? it has to be ignored):
      b4598bfb-f547-41ab-ab99-cc3d22e031ab-SketchUp_XAo4bpCxer.gif
      for example, s4u mirror.. clicking on currently being used "copy-duplicate" option for a 2nd time - it won't switch you to another mode, it stays
      unchanged:
      8a830beb-5001-424d-b203-0e31b72cae92-SketchUp_jpuCHZtyFg.gif
      Apropo, after copying with Ctrl.. is it possible to have only the new instances be selected (without original geometry)?

      @Rich-O-Brien Regading nudging via arrow keys.. Currently it nudges randomly (approx. 0.3-0.5 cm) Is it possible to add some option for setting exact nudge value via VCB ( say typing n10 would set it to 10 units)?
