MoI wishes and remarks

Hi guys,

I’ve noted my MoI wishes / reports so far, based on MoI 3.0 beta Nov-19-2013. Please excuse me if some things are already possible and/or fixed. In that case I’d love to read that, thanks in advance.

• In some tools, such as the scale tool and the sphere radius, when you go to the numerical value entry, there’s no live update in the viewport, and when you press Tab or Enter, the value is applied. So if the scale value isn’t to your liking you have to undo, activate the tool again, set the center again, and enter a different value. There are a few other tools that behave this way when values are entered. Would love to see that changed for convenience.

• Option to easily change points from smooth to corner and vice versa, after a shape is created.

• 2D vector export that creates a closed outline per separate surface, so the shape(s) can be filled straight away with a 2D vector tool, without the need to join vertices first.

• 2D vector export option to create a shared, closed outline around objects with separate styles.

• Exported AI files from MoI won’t load in Inkscape.

• I’d love the UI to remember which Objects / Types / Styles roll-outs I had open in my last session. Now you have to click them open again with each new session.

• A warning message for the Blend tool when you’ve selected curves in stead of edges.

• Moving selections by using the cursor keys (with a key like Control for moving 1/10th of a unit). I noticed there’s a plug-in script for this, but it would be great if it would be a standard MoI function.

• Soft selection option for points with adjustable influence / falloff, so you can move one point and influence neighboring points. This would be very useful for manipulating curves, surfaces and solids with many points.

• Option to set the number of points in a curve during creation, especially for circles and ellipses.
