Yeah that's true - it just becomes more and more of a pretty specialized thing that only works in particular circumstances.

That's kind of something that would be built directly into the point picker logic itself, mostly I try to have things that go in there be sort of more general purpose use type things and not so much just for one very specific thing.

From some of your later comments, it sounds like putting in an offset circle may work for you better than you thought? You probably don't have to put one in on every spot, just in strategic locations where the path goes through a major shift in direction.

It may be possible to do something with the construction line with a keyboard shortcut to help make that easier. I'll give that a try. I'm not sure if there is enough stuff exposed to script to make that work, I may need to add some stuff to make it work for the next beta.
