Changing opening shapes

Post by bobirving »

Three suggestions:
1) make the drawing show the actual location of the vertex when moved. At the moment, it gives a general idea but when you release the button, the vertex is usually somewhere else!

2) Consider allowing the selection of two vertices to allow you to stretch a side. It's very rare that you just want to move a single vertex.

3) Could you please get rid of the little icon that pops up when you use the right mouse button to move a vertex in an opening? It gets in the way and prevents you from seeing where your vertex is going. I don't think that it is necessary to inform the user as to what is going on. After all. s/he is already pressing the right mouse button.

Thanks for these suggestions, I'll make sure these are fed into development

notes;
1. The arrow snaps to the grid point then when I release the vertex moves to that point (I've got grid snap on). does this not happen for you?

2. Hold Ctrl and click on the vertices to multiselect or click and drag a selection of vertices.

3. Noted - icon does get in the way a bit I'll see about getting rid.

1. Dunno - don't usually use grid snapping..
2. Probably worth documenting in the manual!
3. Aahh! I'll go to my grave happy!
