Create app: allow transforming corners #798

Open JulianGro opened 5 months ago

When building out of simple Shapes using Create app, it can be really hard to align certain things. One user has been trying to put a triangle wall into his tipy tent and is practically unable to do so. Being able to select a corner and transform it directly would make this a lot easier. In this case, when transforming the corner of a triangle, Create app could just abstract scaling and rotating of the whole thing. With quads, there might be a bit more thought needed as to how to abstract such movement. IMG_20240124_095012

this used to be technically possible with the Graphics API, which was always highly experimental. one hard part is where to save the modified geometry. I think the thought at the time was that you could grab the triangle mesh, turn it into a model on the asset server, and then on each modification, communicate those changes to the asset server so that everyone would see them.
