I'm tired of Gumball

@eobet thanks for reporting

@eobet

One tangential issue I found is that custom gumball orientation for sub-objects reset when you perform an Undo.

@eobet

Another tangential issue is that if you change the gumball align from a custom one to CPlane it doesn’t actually just change the alignment, it also resets its position.

RH-84590 Gumball resets location on mode change

@eobet

Removing control points from a control point only selection with a custom gumball orientation also resets its position.

Of course this can be debated, but if a selection changes, that is expected.

@eobet

Oh, just executing the Drag Strength menu option also resets the position!

@eobet

Heck, just performing Unisolate resets the custom gumball when control points are selected.

RH-84592 Gumball resets after running UnIsolate

@eobet

One more.

First, I set the custom orientation I want, then I choose the reLOCATE option and only choose a LOCATION and what happens? The alignment resets.

I’m not sure I’m on the same page but I just wanted to mention that T-splines-manipulator was awesome cause it would automatically update to the normal of a control point instantaneously.

If the gumbal could do this that would be great. I think it kinda does but it doesn’t seem as well as T-splines did.

Don’t laugh: T-Splines’ gumball is the one feature that keeps me using T-Splines in Rhino 5 (which I keep using for VSR/ADShapeModeling)
