Hello Shapr3D Team, wish you all a great inspirational design year with your amazing software. Discovering Shapr3d I have 2 questions:

1. Is there any (logical) plans on your roadmap for a tool to be able to move objects (or planes) with a accurately distance along a line? For example along an ellipse. It’s very easy to add planes to a line (see below photo). So if this already works it seems easy to develop a tool to be able to do this more automatically with a specified distance and even better with a to be specified numbers. Now by hand it is very time consuming.  

2. Once you have add a plane on curve at Point you can turn it. However you cannot move it again along the same line as you can see on below photo. It will be nice if this will be possible… Looking forward to your comments.
