Rulers, Grids, and Snapping (oh, my)

Hi Andrew,

Just thought this might be another feature you could consider to further enhance

(and set above) 3d-brush from it's competitors.

Basically, a means to have a grid overlay system based on the camera projection,

along with rulers (now that you've already got that handy measuring tool) and the

ability to snap-to-grid either curve spline points and/or brush-strokes themselves

(not sure about this one). Also, the ability to allow the user to set the grid unit

spacing. Ideally, symmetry would work with this as well...

I'm thinking along the lines of Photoshop in terms of functionality, but in 3D, of

course. :)

Kind regards,

wailingmonkey

Hi Andrew,

I'm really liking the grid setup you've implemented. :)

I was wondering if you might consider some enhancements, namely:

- ability to rotate the grid similar to materials (and snap at horizontal, vertical, and 45-degrees, or

even set a rotation angle from 0-360)

- allow for 'Paint with Rectangle' and 'Paint with Elipse' to snap to the grid as well (for instance, if

you want to create rectangles along specific grid lines, or you want elipses to fit between certain

grid lines

cheers.

nice. :) thank you.

I also thought of something else, unrelated... would you be

able to add the ability to erase with the 'Draw with Spline' tool?

(this can mostly be done via erase and 'Paint with Spline', but

adding it as a checkbox in 'Draw with Spline' as 'Erase with Spline'

might be handy too.)
