[Revised and supplemented by @gpaar's minutes from the meeting on Feb. 11th, 2022.]

[ ] 1) Allow a flag for the user to choose whether scale bar may be obstructed by the scene triangles. Sometimes it's useful to bury those planks to visualize dunes etc. --> Done
[ ] 2) The new zooming feature causes the text even in its smallest version 0,01 appear huge. It shall go down to 0,001 at least. --> Redundant
[ ] 3) It is unpredictable whether the text or the scalebar is in front. The text shall always be in front. --> Resolved
[ ] 4) Please separate the text from the scalebar. Currently they overlap. --> Resolved
[ ] 5) Larger range for scale bar thickness (<1mm and > 1m). Make the default thickness adjustable in the UI. --> Redundant
[ ] 6) It would help if the starting point of the scalebar (i.e. where it hits the surface) is marked e.g. as small yellow spot --> Resolved
[ ] 7) Allow 3 DoF for scale bar orientation (low priority) --> Redundant by transform
[ ] 8) Defining a scalebar per option shall take over the settings of the latest scalebar parameters. --> redundant
[ ] 9) The re-positioning of a scale bar shall be possible, e.g. by dynamically dragging around on the surface (low priority) --> Entered
[ ] 10) Allow positioning the text on the scalebar (left, middle, right)
[ ] 11) The name in the list does not change when the length changes. Update in UI and incorporate primary orientation into the name. (low priority) --> Deprecated
[ ] 12) Allow selection of the two colours (low priority) --> redundant
[ ] 13) Allow to change the shape between circular and rectangular (low priority) --> Redundant
[ ] 14) Transfer parameters from one scale bar to others (similar to a format painting tool) (low priority) --> redundant
[ ] 15) Enable to structure scale bar into groups --> redundant
[ ] 16) Define rendering priority of scale bars or set it automatically to the priority of the surface they are placed. --> Redundant
[ ] 17) Render shadows of scale bars (low priority) --> redundant
