If Michael Lachmann would put this and the other tools from Philo into MLCad
we would have a very very good tool for parts developing. I hope Michael
reads this lines ;-)

I wonder if they would be easy to integrate: most of them requires two sets of
input, that would translate in two different selection modes. I don't know how
it could be implemented in a user friendly way.

I would have also several other suggestions to make life of parts authors easier
;o) I think most of them would be rather easy to add...

- integrated inliner
- triangle to quad joining and quad to triangle splitting
- building triangle/quads from 2 lines
- bording triangle/quads with edge lines
- building condlines from two triangle/quads
- quad coplanarity checking
- put main/edge colors in color toolbar

(and I probably forget a lot!)

Philo, who also hopes Michael is listening...

This way, you could visually select elements to process (...) (16 years ago, 6-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
