Chevron Rotate feature

Open zero2132 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Which area of IMT is your request about? (ex: Lines, Fillers, UI)

Fillers, UI

Describe your idea clearly and concisely.

Currently, chevron filler has 2 buttons that affect the pattern point of origin - Turn and Invert.

"Turn" button rotates the pattern using a fixed angle - please make that angle adjustable!

Screenshots?

Provide a visual if possible what your idea would look like

Why would this idea be a good addition to IMT?

For complex intersections with Node Controller, chevrons need to be angled differently relative to the point of origin - the fixed angles for Turn button are very restrictive.

Chevron follow two guide rails. You can set it.

Hi macsergey

Chevrons dont always follow the guide rails (when NC offsets are used)

See example:

In this example, rotating chevrons by a few degrees relative to the point of origin would be very helpful!

Before the guide rails were implemented, same intersection looked like this:
