Using Shapr since a few days and I don’t recognize this icon. It would be great to have at least a name when hovering icons in theses situations.

Thanks for the feedback, absolutely fair. The lack of tooltips all around the app is a heritage of the iPad origins, but we’ll fix it real soon and add hover info for most tools and badges, including this one.

That is the ‘Project’ icon.

More precisely, it marks which of the selected items will be the source for the projection (that’s the one marked by this badge), as opposed to being the target (which is marked by a crosshair). Clicking the badges flips the source/destination mode. It’s described in more detailed way [in the manual.](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012231934-What-does-the-Project-tool-do-)

I think this info/tip was meant for @Do.B

I use Projection regularly and am totally familiar with it.

In hindsight, maybe I should have elaborated a little in my earlier response to @Do.B …

" **That is the ‘Project’ Icon** _and is the source of the projection as opposed to the target which is displayed with a crosshair image."_
