Smart Extrude further improvements

Smart Extrude further improvements

1) Smart extrude does not cope correctly with the situation shown in the picture (smart extrude.jpg)

2) Make the smart extrude function to the rotate command to get "hinge" extrude (smart rotate extrude.jpg)

yes, need people to find more cases when it fails to be refined to perfection.

And yes, similar to uniting multiple cut and loop operations into a single tool the same approach should be with the extrude operations, in this case adding the hinge from edge

The tool needs to be improved, for example, Smart Extrude can not cope even in such a simple situation.Smart Extrude.jpg

I guess you already report it as a bug.

It would also be nice if it could do an Inset when using the Scale tool rather than a simple scaling toward the selection center. Maybe with an added hot key like Ctrl while holding Shift. 

@hwoRX6FJ was the first part been addressed within 2022.3 update ?

 

if so @shawnolson pls change it to implemented

anyone knows a better way of hinging extrude from the center of the polygon without the the the workaround of temporarily adding an edge in the middle of the polygon then performing two hinges from edge operations, both from this middle edge: one with positive and the other with negative value than deleting the created edge.
