The problem that this feature will solve:
Let me arrange objects whose size is defined by variables. Currently a move requires a simple number as a distance, variables cannot be used.
I am trying to align an object generated by a linear pattern (repeat count and separation controlled by variables) with a tool to cut off excess material. The move required to center my generated pattern back around the origin needs a distance that depends on the two variables that control the linear pattern.
I am sure there are many other applications for wanting to control moves with variables now the size of objects are controllable in this way.
Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:
Moves become an operation that can be controlled by variables.
What can’t you achieve without this feature?
Work consistently on the origin. I suspect there may be a work around involving constructing the cutting tool out at some paramaterisable point in 3d space.
Is this a workflow blocker for you? Is this why you can’t use Shapr3D for work? Is this slowing you down?
The workaround will add complexity in dimensioning vs working symmetrically around the origin.
