Title: Feature request
Post by: Monafly on October 19, 2013, 12:19:47 AM

Just starting to use these new Wizards, which I like a lot by the way and have a feature request. In all the times when one gets to select the origins, the choices always seem to be center, NE, NW, SE, SW, but it would be nice to also have N, S, E, W as options. This would make lining up and linking different sections of code much more flexible.

Thanks.

But N, S, E, W are not points, they are edges. the origin point must be a point.

Clarification: Make it the center of that edge. Many things I try to do would be centered along a line down the center of a part, and being able to base features off that center line would be nice. One could pick the center as the origin, but then I have to do a lot of math to figure out how to make features match up with the edges.
