Thanks!!!

I think it is the best implementation of Default SL tool, because we now have general, universal rules for all StreamLine tools.
If you want to recreate default NVil behavior just set Selection SL tool as Default and this is it :)
If you want to go further set Move as Default SL tool.

Check how I implemented it:

Some bugs:
- Extrude Axis and Extrude Plane started to work as Extrude Cursor Direction.
- Open Box, Cylinder, Plane... tools stopped to work.

Andrei

In Apr2 release.

When using F1 (object/mesh pivot), I can no longer click on a axis with MMB and get the drag out lines to snap to another vertex to align my axis. I use this feature a lot.

Is this a result of all these changes or a introduced bug ?

It works fine on Nov 9. 2015 release.

Its working really well now, thanks !

So great to have this working again as I use this functionality to align my pivot precisely and then my workplane to the pivot. Great when needing to model stuff at odd angles & locations in 3d space.

MoI workflow))) Use align workplane to selection sometimes work faster!

Yes but Nvil does not allow you to align workplane to selected vertices so I align the pivot to selected vertices and then workplane to the relevant pivot axis XY, YZ or ZX.

In order to align the pivot to selected vertices the axis drag line from MMB is crucial.

Yep, with vertexes Allign Workplane to Selection become a bit tricky, but you can try with selecting more than one vertexes :D.

Just notice that you said that - Align Workplane to Selectedit does not work with vertxes. It works!
Use this tool:

Thanks for the tip Andrei

My composite workplane selection tool is coincidently set up exactly like yours.

Sometimes it does work for selected vertices, but most times it doesn't. See picture below for a simple example where it doesn't align with the select vertices.

Quite often because of the odd angle & geometry I only want to select 3 verts and align the workplane to it. The workplane aligns with the average of the 3 verts.
