setz Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It would be great to have an option for the Extend Tool, or better yet, a new Tool "Live Extend" that would allow for a result buffer enabling the distance for the extend to be entered, previewed and edited. I use the Reshape tool this way and would love for the Extend to have this functionality as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¢hris £und Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 +1 though I preferred the extend tool in 6.x over the fractured tools of the current iteration. 1 tool with multiple options worked much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaakko Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think it would be nice to be able to give a distance how far a face would go from a target face, (-/+) in or out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setz Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I wanted to clarify my suggestion. It could be applied as one of two options: 1. Adding a Live Update or "Rubber Banding" action to the Extend tool. 2. Adding an additional option for the Reshape Tool. The Reshape Tool is a type of face extension with 2 options; "Perpendicular to Ref Plane" and "Perpendicular to Surface", I would like a third option - "Extend from Surface" where the perimeter segments would be extended pushing the face out the distance entered in the numeric input field. The limitation of the current Extend Tool is that once fired it can not be "Rubber Banded" as the reshape tool allows for. It would also be helpful to have the same "rubber banding" for the extend segment tool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
