it is really nice addon, but i have some notes, that normal offset thing makes a bit harder to read whats going on, for example, i try to select and edge but the region and cutted edges are in front of actual edges, and its harder to see them, for me we should use mark seams for cutting edges rather than a line in front of actual edges. it would be easier to read since we already used to it from blender. a mark for areas that needs to be glued would be nice (if we dont have texture, it is kinda hard to tell which area needs to be glued) also would be nice an setting for enable or disable that. A feature that would highlight the selected face in 2D space and 3D space would be nice rather than only highlight selected island sometimes its hard to tell which face goes where. i have high hopes for this addon, please keep update it we will support you no matter what
Thanks for the review!
I agree with all of your points and already did some work to improve things:
I originally wanted to achieve the same visual effect as seams, creases, sharp and freestyle edges, but I just don't know how to do it. So until I figure this out, the dotted lines above the mesh edges will have to stay :(
You can now also make the 3D island drawings transparent, which should make it easier to see selected faces.
For the glue flaps, I totally forgot that I wanted to do this! Now you can give the glue flaps a color to see where to put glue (also works for two-sided prints)
Highlighting the islands of selected faces is a bit tricky, as I don't know if there are callbacks for face selection in edit mode. However, I added a new Build-Sections feature that allows you to group islands together. It comes with the option to highlight the selected build section in both the 3D and 2D view.
Thanks again for the great ideas and have fun crafting :)
