A better Column tool


Christiaan

Question

Can we make the Column tool less diabolical please? 

 

I wonder if the column tool should just be completely rethought with usability as the priority. But if we can't have that, then here's a list of improvements for the current tool. Feel free to suggest other changes.

 

  1. The number one goal should be to simplify the tool so that any complexity is hidden/collapsed away until the user asks for it. We should be able to incrementally add more complexity. The only thing we should see initially is Width, Depth and Height.
  2. We shouldn't be forced to use Classes or Materials to control textures and fills. We should be able to just use textures and fills. And we should be able to drop textures directly onto elements of a column object too.
  3. If a Class the Column tool is using is edited (e.g. for the shaft, capital or base), the Column tool forgets the Class. Can it not do this please.

 

Why do we have all this non-editable information?
