I often wish I could split a line in two. Current workaround is to trim the line segment, then re-draw it, but that can mess with any constraints bound to the trimmed line. Ideally adding a point would maintain those constraints. Other things this can do are constrain the line parallel to the original, and also add a relative length constraint to each split line, if the original had one.
Some interfaces for this could be “split at intersection” (for when 2 sketch lines intersect), “split in middle”, and “add point”.
Other times, I want to add a point to my sketch, in arbitrary space, so I can position it and sketch from there. This feels like it could be related to line splitting, as one of the interfaces I mention for “splitting” a line is just to add a point.
Seconded! I have a nice complex cross section spline drawn, and I just need a portion of it to guide a loft. Splitting by a point on the curve sure would be handy.
Yup being able to add points on a spline or change points from lines to splines would be great.
I have found that when trying to trace a curvature. If you need to add a couple of points to get more accurate you have to start all over again. If you could just add a point between the 2 existing points that would make life a lot easier.
Semi beta as I can understand. It’s available on the site in download section as a release. Also in TestFlight. But in AppStore I believe still old version.
Hi @Xdrakosha thanks for your post. I cant get that dialog window to show. Searched the site for the download you mentioned could not find anything so i went back into shapr opened a new file and started messing around with a spline on its own
And hey presto i found that if you hold the pen on the spline and apply a little pressure a new control point materialises. What’s more a little icon also appears showing the option to toggle between. Hard point with straight lines or leave it as a spline
Every day is a school day. Thanks for you input
