no rush of course... It doesn't really add anything that can't be done with current trim/split tools. Just a nice touch that would add to Moi's freehanded approach... Have you seen the videos of the metaball modelers Teddy and ShapeShop (a.k.a. BlobShop) ? they have an interesting curve "eraser" that works just by scribbling a wavy line across the segment you want to erase. Somehow the program recognizes your intent as an eraser, not as a new curve. Of course it doesn't have the accuracy required by CAD. But it's interesting...

Yeah I've seen that it is pretty cool. Gestures kind of worry me a bit in general, with too complex ones seeming to be pretty hard to remember, but that scribble=erase one is pretty good exception to that, it's easy to remember and I think distinctive enough that it gets recognized with a really high accuracy rate.

i think a "scribble" could be integrated into a precision workflow, if Moi knows to remove a segment based on a few simple rules:

**stop at the closest intersections, quads, and knots
**remove segment if scribbled on segment of a polyline, remove section of line if scribbled on line.

customizable of course ;)
