6 months ago The ability to lock the cursor to an axis would be great as well. For example if you need a perfectly straight line going down a specific area of a model, lock cursor to Z axis and paint your line. Alternatively having a Line Tool where you click to determine point A, then click again to determine point B, where the Line would be drawn between each points.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The problem my proposal would solve is that there is currently no easy way to make a straight line of color across an arbitrary portion of a model. The closest you can come is to use the 'circle' tool to paint an arbitrary area - but it paints with a circle which does not provide a nice straight line.
Describe the solution you'd like Add a 'Square' tool type. This would function almost exactly as the current 'Circle' option but would allow a square 'brush head' to enable coloring arbitrary lines on the model with great precision.
Describe alternatives you've considered If you reduce the brush size to very small and use multiple passes of the circle tool, you can also make a straight line - but it is very tedious and takes a long time. Alternatively you can use the 'Height range' tool if your colored section cuts all the way across the model. But often time, I need to outline a rectangular shape that I can then fill in with color and so the Height Range tool isn't appropriate for that.
