Gizmo: transform type in upon selecting axis/ plane

Gizmo: transform type in upon selecting axis/ plane

By improving the gizmo to allow for transform type-in one does not require one to open the transform type-in dialog (F12) or click outside the working area in the transform type in toolbar.

I am totally ok about this ... The Gizmo in fusion 360 is incredibly faster and nice to use!

I will like this on different areas. Editablepoly, also creating a Spline, being able to define a lenght for the next knot to be created, little more similar to autocad.  Will be none intrusive, just used if you want, if not work like before.

@pyroskatExactly, this could be extended to all gizmo interaction. Clicking on a plane during scaling could also prompt a type-in, shift clicking to extrude edges or inset faces by distance, etc.

 

Sidenote: Although I do think that the scale gizmo is less than ideal for this and I would personally favour Rhino/ Fusion 360's gizmo for scaling since it is less prone to miss-clicking and visually more informative.

bump to this!
