Yeah, that's how I set up Rhino, but I have come to view that kind of "in your face big pop-up" type thing to have been a bad UI design choice. It is just too distracting to have it pop up all the time, it tends to come up unexpectedly and interrupts your workflow constantly.

It was a major goal for MoI to avoid that - it is one of the ingredients that makes for such a smoother workflow in MoI. It basically kind of attempts to do the complete opposite and show you what will happen before you click rather than doing something after you click.


I'm thinking of possibly doing it though for this one particular case of stacked curve/edge, but I'm not completely enthusiastic about it because I don't want to incur the same kind of workflow interruption penalty.
