@brian @pascal - I know this is a biggie, but this represents a huge increase to productivity. [Substitute Ref Objs For Ref Locations] The video explains: why this is needed using _Flow as a workaround why _Flow isn’t ideal the request We’d like to substitute geometry (point, line, …

Hello - yeah, I’ve asked for this too in Revolve. BTW, it does work in Loft if you just select a point object at either end of the loft and not the Point option, which sends you off to pick a location, not an object. But yes, there are a number of commands where it might make sense to pick objects …

I can’t believe a _Point works with _Loft…this is something I’ve needed for a long time. Maybe some contextual clues could be added? [image] [image] There’s definitely more commands that I would like it on, but I prioritized the big ones that have clunky or no workarounds. Like Orient3pt is #1 …

Pascal pushed for this on Revolve and it works great in the WIP. https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-2868 You have to select the endpoints of a line when it asks for an axis to get history.

@pascal I just want to bump this. Not sure if there’s a YT for adding a planar srf option to _Mirror. Copy/paste with History is a huge boost to productivity, but one of the big sticking points is _Mirror. After you copy something, the paste puts it in the exact same position and you need to mov…

Hi Eric - the goal then is to be able to move that reference geometry (plane) , either with or without the mirrored objects and get an update, correct? I can see that… let me think for a minute about whether that is part of Mirror or ought to be separate - it would be quite different. RH-65165 Mir…

@pascal I don’t think it’d be that much different. It’s pretty much a direct replacement _Mirror 3Point. Instead of selecting 3 points to define a plane, you supply one. I did end up coming up with a workaround I just shared: [image] Tip: Quad Symmetry Without Mirror Plane Rhino …
