Just a thought as I am reading this: Would it be possible to extend the lifetime of construction lines?

Sometimes I use the same construction lines a couple of times, in which case I draw regular lines that are deleted later. But maybe this concept of construction lines could be extended: They are a new Type 'construction' of straight lines and remain on the screen until thrown away. The ephemeral character is what makes them useful: They could be discarded without trimming and deleting.

Hi Ditto, there are a couple of plug-ins that you can add in to get some construction lines that last for longer than the current command, check them out here:
http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/#KeepCLine

If you set up the script there labeled "Keep construction line", on a shortcut key, that will then cause any construction lines created inside of the current command to stick around after the command is ended instead of going away automatically like they normally do.

Also see here for a custom command that you can set up that is just for setting up clines that stick around:

It would be nice in the future to add in some more methods for manipulating construction lines, but it can be hard to figure out a good UI for managing them that is not too obtrusive.

Hi Michael, thanks for the pointers. These look actually to be what I was looking for. Great stuff. And I should have known that there is a way in MoI: This software is just brilliant (a small reflection of it's inventor, certainly ;)

Cheers,
Ditto

And make lines or curves in a special color say "pinky" don't make the same work like construction 's lines?
You can use them like a special grid of construction, no ?
And hide them as you want ;)

You could also use your regular lines as you were, name them something like 'construct' and lock them, in that way object snap still works with them without worrying about moving or deleting them accidentally.

Cheers
