Suggestion: GuideLines? #5

Open MasterJames opened 2 years ago

MasterJames commented 2 years ago

I was hopeful there was a way to also select a set of guidelines from a GreasePencil object. Or maybe there's a way that opens the instance of InstantMeshes so you can put guidelines, so it handles the steps of export and import? Maybe even just set the symmetry axis so it gets one guideline down the middle. [My guess is neither was not possible, or maybe grease pencil was only annotations at the time you first build this bridging addon.]

Well I guess there's not way currently to send guide curls from the command line?!

I have made the suggestion further up now as well. https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes/issues/136

Well my interface from the addon to instant meshes is command line. If there is an option to add guidelines we dont need grease pencil, I could add a feature to my addon to paint guidelines onto the mesh, no problem. But as I said, we need guidelines as cml interface to IM.
