Set Extrude direction by edge or points

Set Extrude direction by edge or points

It would be a really good idea to have a extrude direction option in modeling, I'm not talking about "Extrudie along Spline", I mean a temporary vector, like "Tape" to set the direction of Extrude (or Move and Bevel, etc).

Something like this: 

this kind of easy alignments could serve so many other parts of 3ds max

C'mon Autodesk keep improving on the Extrusions ! After Smart extrude pls add this !

Ok, I don't want to wait, here is a simple python script for set the direction of working pivot based on chosen direction (it works in 3Ds Max 2021)

@xxshirzadxx Isn't this what you were looking for? If so come on beta and test it

 

Also I got this idea that has been accepted [Custom Pivot] Versatile on-the-go interactive pivot manipulation (Align, Pos, Orient, Aim) similar ...

 

If its the same thing then this should be merged into it. A moderator pls taking care of that!
