Hi Paul, welcome to the forum! I'm glad that you are enjoying using MoI.

I do plan on doing something like this for version 2.0, but it will be a little while before that happens. The initial 1.0 version is nearly wrapped up now.
Some type of object management / object list, and object properties are pretty big priorities for the next version.
Version 1.0 is mostly focused on doing just the initial drawing and creating of shapes quickly and easily.

Hmmmm.... I guess it shouldn't matter too much either way, I guess whichever one seems easier or most convenient would be the way to go.
I'm not sure what kind of distortions you were seeing, do you have an example of that?
One guideline though, you generally need to create your models at a unit system and scale where you don't have either very large or very small numbers. Like for instance, you shouldn't draw objects with coordinates like 0.0001 or 1,000,000.0, try to keep things in a more simple and compact numeric range. You need to use coordinates more like 100.0 or 0.1, not too extreme.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them on the forum here!
