it will be more convenient

Please change the LCS position. It interferes a lot with the design.

free777cat commented 5 months ago

This LCS position nullifies all the advantages of using the "Add base shape" function

shaise commented 5 months ago

I do not understand your request. Some people like the LCS on the side, some in the center. If I put it in the center someone else will say it is better on the side.

free777cat commented 5 months ago

When designing, the base of symmetrical parts is always in the center. Thus, the model can immediately be used in "Assembly". It's not just "people like", it's an engineering way.

free777cat commented 5 months ago

If the "Bend side" parameter is added, it does not correlate at all with the lateral position.

I can understand the reasoning of putting LCS in the symmetrical center. But from your image you want it to be at the Celter-Left, What about Center-Center or Center-Right? image

free777cat commented 5 months ago

It would be a good idea to start with LCS1. And add the following functions in the editor. It will be great!!! (LCS2 mid plane)

OK. Best thing is to let the user choose origin location. I have added this option. It should also work on previously generated base shapes, if you recompute them. image

free777cat commented 5 months ago

You still need to add "invert". Then all options will be available.

What do you mean by invert? so the u shape is along Y instead of along X?

Sorry but I do not see a reason for that. You can just rotate the part. This will just over complicate the tool.

free777cat commented 4 months ago

Is it possible to make the "negative" value work? "invert"
