The Point tool is a valuable tool for modeling new ideas, but it lacks a crucial feature: the ability to display the distance between points in real time.
Currently, users must manually measure distances using workarounds, which can be time-consuming and imprecise. A built-in ruler functionality would streamline this process and enhance the tool's usability.
Proposed feature:
Implement a ruler feature that activates when using the Point tool.
Display the real-time distance between the current point and the previous point.
Provide a quick toggle option (e.g., CTRL key) to enable or disable the ruler.
Benefits:
Streamlines distance measurement, improving efficiency and accuracy.
Enhances the Point tool's capabilities for precise design work.
Simplifies distance measurement for specific requirements, such as evenly spaced points.
Example:
A user wants to create three points with a spacing of 4.5mm. Instead of using manual workarounds, the ruler feature would allow them to:
Place the first point.
Activate the ruler feature.
Place the second point while observing the real-time distance displayed by the ruler.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the third point, ensuring all points are spaced accurately at 4.5mm.
By incorporating a ruler feature, the Point tool would become an even more versatile and efficient tool for designers and modelers.
