A very small flaw - albeit a bit irritating - might be called a bug …
Creating a box, using the 3Point version.
When Rhino is waiting for the height … you see positive number on the screen (in this image, the positive numbers are pointing upwards in the image). But if the input at the prompt is a positive number it goes “downwards” instead.
(In this example, the box was constructed using a line from right to left, thus it is mathematically correct (using the right hand thumb rule) that positive values are pointing “downwards/away”, but why then the screen values are positive when the extrusion goes “upwards” ?
I tend to draw the 3Point direction lines from right to left, thus every time this becomes an error when the box is created, and I have to move the created “box” the thickness distance upwards.
Wouldn’t it be natural that if the user draws the 3Point line from right to left, the extrusion numbers would be negative instead? Then if the user wants to enter a number instead, he will remember to enter a negative value … and no errors/confusions will occur. I think this would be more correct.
Or is there something that I do not understand ?
Thanks
