"dynamic extrude"

Hi Burr, so you mean you want to run any of the existing 24 curve commands while you are still running inside of the Sweep command without the Sweep command exiting? That would involve a pretty huge change to the command architecture - currently only one command can run at a time which kind of keeps things simple.

A lot of these curve commands have their own UI and various options of their own (for example "Both sides" for line, radius for a circle, etc.. etc...), so you're talking about a system where the extrude UI would kind of temporarily go away and the particular curve command that you decided to run would have its own UI swap in until you were finished?

Overall that would require a huge infrastructure change in how commands work in order to enable that little checkbox... :)

What about if you wanted to do a boolean between 2 curves or trim out a piece of a curve, would all those other commands try to be somehow active within the Sweep command as well?

How is this particular thing set up in Amapi, does it have a separate "Dynamic" checkbox that then lets you draw things within the sweep command, or is it just always set up to draw things within that particular command? And if it is always set up to draw then how does it handle if you want to select some already existing curves instead of drawing a new one?
