john Snap Through a Point
I appreciate that in zzTakeoff it isn’t necessary to highlight a point that lies on an orthogonal line in order to draw a nice rectangle, for example. But would it be feasible to highlight a point not lying on an orthogonal line in order to extend a line through it at the requisite angle?
John,
Could you clarify your example? Are you looking to create a perpendicular line that extends from a non-orthogonal line to Create a perfect Rectangle? Currently, the orthogonal inference works at:
- Vertical (90°)
- Horizontal (0°)
- Diagonal angles (45°, 135°, 225°, 315°)
Are you trying to create perpendicular lines at different angles than these standard ones to create a perfect rectangle?
Draw two points anywhere. The goal is to start at one point and draw a line through the second point (or anywhere in-line with the second point) such that the endpoint of the line is not coincident with the second point.
Hope that clears it up.
Thanks for the clear explanation, John! That helps us visualize exactly what you're looking for - the ability to extend a line through 2 reference point to any desired length.
We'd love to hear about how you'd use this in your workflow. Sharing your use case would help other users join the conversation and could inspire similar applications we haven't thought of yet. This kind of community input really helps us prioritize the most valuable features.
It is not uncommon for me to receive a print with no roof plan. Therefore I have to draw my own roof plan using whatever information is available. Often a valley rafter needs to extend to the main ridge, passing through the point of intersection of the other valley rafter and ridge. In the drawing here I would need to draw DA through point B.
John,
Thanks for Sharing this is very helpful
