Suggestion: Cut at Point for 2d objects

Hi Marc, so you mean kind of like AutoCAD's "break" command, except without requiring you to type in @ after clicking the first point?

I've added that to the wishlist: http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist


In general MoI commands are set up to try and follow a consistent pattern of selecting objects that you want to modify, and then having the command work on those objects.

The method that you are talking about though would not follow that pattern though.

But what I could see doing is to have a special "QuickTrim" command that was probably not in the default button layout but that would still be available by setting up a keyboard shortcut (or in the future possibly an optional button that could be added to the UI if you wanted) that would work in this alternate way.


Then there is still one kind of question area about this - should something like "QuickTrim" be actually focused on cutting the object and also throwing away a part of it like AutoCAD's break command (which then requires a second pick), or only on splitting the line and then immediately exiting?
