Hi Kevin, very nice result on your plane! You know things are going to turn out nice when just the plain untextured rendering looks as clean and smooth as that.

I'm glad the surface drawing is working well for you, that's good news!

Yes, I am intending to add this, hopefully pretty soon here.

It will definitely be useful in cases where you want to control the angle of the drawn shape.

The general thing that I'm hoping for is that the direct surface drawing will work for many common cases, and that is faster since you don't have to do any kind of setup or restore type steps for it. But there will still be a construction plane command that you can use in the cases where the quick simple one is not what you want.

Yup, this is definitely going to be a major focus area coming up in v2. I will most likely start working on this area once I have the next beta release wrapped up, it shouldn't be too much longer for that.

It will be a fairly involved area so it will probably span across a couple of months and a few beta releases before it is all complete (the object organization type tools I mean).
