Line tool
« on: February 26, 2016, 11:13:32 PM »
Simple line tool (segments do not follow the terrain)
with some special functions:

 - Leftlick adds segments
 - CTRL deletes last segment without stopping the tool, just continue drawing new segments

Lines are always drawn at the main drawing level in a new group, even if you work within a group.

The new group can then be projected (drape) to any mesh.

A sketchup drape issue:

Draping with the sketchup native tool sometimes leave gaps,
if
- the line segment (result of the drape near to a vertex) is very short
or
- the source edge overlays a hidden edge of the target

You either use
- a small helper to show the gaps >>
- another helper to repair the 'edge' problem up to a certain extend >>

or other external tool for draping or edge correction (edge tools)
