Add corner grips to Crop Regions, etc.

Add corner grips to Crop Regions, etc.

It would be nice to have corner grips on view controls to adjust two sides at once. Applicable to crop regions, section boxes, section and elevation extents, etc...

Hi, I couldn't see this suggestion posted elsewhere, so hopefully this isn't a duplicate!

Essentially, I think it would be great if we could control the section/selection box from corner - rather than side - grips.

In general, this would be useful for anything parametric with grips, though I realise - constraints depending - this isn't always a viable option.

In any case, resizing the section box from a corner point is just so much faster and convenient than using the side grips. I understand it may not be so easy from an angled perspective (though still possible), but it could perhaps be a dynamic option that corner grips appear only when viewing in plan or parallel/perp to the box faces.

I'm mostly modelling in 3D, notably using point cloud, so there is a constant need to be flexing the section box to what is relevant... essentially I just want to half my clicks, obviously therein doubling productivity! 😉

When working in a 3D view, it will be really useful if additional control drag arrows are added on the section box edges locally when zooming in to a particular area, so that it is not necessary to zoom out to find the ones which currently only located in the center of the entire active section box    

This is a great idea, it is always annoying to have to individually adjust all four sides of a crop region to get it to the size I want.

Absolutely a great idea!  That's one of those little quality of life things that I've never thought about before, but it would definitely speed things up a bit.

This sounds like something pretty simple that most people would have included from day one (see every other software interface) and would improve the UX. Unfortunately for us, that goes against Autodesk policy.
