We are thinking about all of those things but some of them might take a bit of time. The internal representation of Tinkercad is a true volumetric format, even simple models would take gigabytes uncompressed, which is why we store them in a cluster. The upside is that our boolean operations are rock solid and the STL:s well defined. The downside is that doing a push pull operation literally means moving the equivalent of digital dirt around.. :-)
- phlux 15y agoWould it then be possible to have the ability to adjust the reference plane at a specific angle. Have a dial and text box for saying the reference plane should be "45 degrees to the Z axis" This would allow one to use the existing tools a bit more precisely.
- kaib 15y agoThis is an excellent suggestion. It's good enough that I used the company time machine to port it back to our iteration planning two weeks ago. Sadly our UI engineer is picky and he hasn't been satisfied with any of the five prototypes he wrote during last week. So, that makes it two of us who are eagerly waiting for the ability to rotate work planes.. :-)
