Trying to place the starting point dot, aways puts both the start and end about one thousandth apart. I can’t get it to put just the starting point dot. It’s like it needs a debounce routine added. It was difficult in the previous version and would always take me several tries, but seems much worse this version.  
Thanks for the amazing snap improvements!

Hi, sorry to hear that, we’ll look into it. In the meantime try using drag instead of adding the points separately!

You might try setting Pencil Sensitivety to Low if not already set? Hope this helps…

Best,

Tommy

Tried that, no luck. I noticed that if you tap near a snap point it works better, however if there is no clear snap point, Shapr3d always draws both points. You can force the points apart by dragging, but that is very tedious as it requires a lot of zooming. Anyway, it’s broke…

I can confirm that I have seen this behavior also in recent times… But it is not always persistent?

Best,
