Add Project/File command should include insertion point and alignment

Feature requests

When inserting Shapr3D projects with the new “Add - Project” feature, the inserted item is placed at 0,0,0. Most items will need to be placed and positioned elsewhere in the project. For each insert that requires re-selecting the object and aligning/translating/scaling it somewhere else. It also means the object sketches will be left at 0,0,0.

Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:

When inserting a Shapr3D project, the user should be prompted for an insertion point. Then the option to use Align, Translate, Rotate, and Scale. All items from the project should be inserted at this point and alignment.

What can’t you achieve without this feature?

The significantly hampers the usefulness of the Add-Project/File feature. Both from a tedious workflow and by leaving the sketches at the origin.

This would be particularly useful when importing many files that pile up at the origin (or elsewhere). However, if this is added, it should not be invasive. In other words, you should be able to position it only if you want to without a dialog or anything that stops you from performing another operation. Dialogs that require ok/cancel are often not needed as long as long as they present the controls to move the import without forcing you to do it. Clicking on any other shapr3d feature should effectively be the “ok” action.
