Cut tool suggestion

Open michaudtime opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I love that the cut tool is getting some love! One of the things is that its a little hard to find the exact point you want to make the cut on.

Describe the solution you'd like What I've found that ive been doing is placing the cut line and then clicking add/edit connectors as it hides the top and and I can see whats left. If this could be added as a toggle in the normal cut tool it would be a big QoL improvement. This allows you to easily see if there might be a random island that you overlooked initially.

Great work as always team!

I am not sure I understand. This is the reason why we are showing the cut contour. Is that not enough?

While the contour works as expected it would just be a little easier to see when your messing up. I've attached an very primitive example. I would like to split this part in 2 parts to print as flat on the bed as possible so can maximize overall surface finish. In photo 1 I have put the cut tool where I thought it would work best. After pressing the connector button (photo 2) You can easily see that I missed a surface that would potential drive the need for supports which I don't want to use. I would then hit cancel and readjust the cut line until I had something to match photo 3.

It's not a huge deal, just a small QoL thing.
