Hi lyes, thanks very much for preparing that video, that is very clear!
I want to add something very similar to this in V2 - currently my idea is to place a properties panel for the selected object in the upper-right corner of the window, where options for commands normally display.
When you are not in a command you might notice that there is a blank area there currently - that's where I want to put it. I'd like to make it possible to change basic properties, like the length of a line or the radius of a circle.
But unfortunately it will be quite difficult to enable changing the length or angle of a line that is a segment joined to other curves. That's what is called "constraint-based" modeling, and it requires a pretty sophisticated recalculation engine that modifies all the surrounding pieces. I don't think it will be possible for me to achieve that particular part anytime soon.
Thanks for the video! I've added a link back to here to the wishlist on the wiki: http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist, so it will be easier to refer back to it later.
