I am also an almost-former SketchUp user and I love their implementation of inferences. I think implementing this feature in Shapr would be super helpful. I created this official video for Google about eight years ago for their Technique and Toolbar Series.

I have difficulty with the align tool achieving the desired results in Shapr3D, so something like true inferencing would be helpful.

I also have a video on creating a table in another thread here that shows inferencing. [Components and Instances - #7 by CurlyBee](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/components-and-instances/25888/7)
