The problem that this feature will solve: Creating fully variable-based Generators
Variables are of great use, and make prototyping extremely easy. But, a lot of tools in Shapr3D can’t be used with variables, seemingly without any reason. One simple example: Patterns. They would benefit a lot from the use of variables, and I recon it wouldn’t be that hard to make either.
**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature: Creating perfect „Generator“ type of projects, which then could be reused over and over again for similar use cases, but different sizes. An example: The Drum shells I‘m currently working on. The count of the external Lugs which then need to be mounted is a simple variable. Creating the circular holes for these is just a sketch and a pattern of this sketch. But, for the holes to be distributed evenly along the shell, the pattern angle needs to be defined by the lug count. Note: of course, there are workarounds for this, but it demonstrates my idea. **
**What can’t you achieve without this feature? **
