This will allow us to navigate from project to project without opening another external window. Of course, with the ability to copy and paste objects from one project to another.

It would be very useful to be able to combine (not group) different, spatially separate objects—mainly solids—into a single object so they can be moved, rotated, etc., as one. Think, for example, of 12 or 60 dots on a clock face or bolts arranged around a flange. This would reduce the total number of objects, provide a cleaner overview and a simpler workflow. I really miss this feature in Plasticity. Of course, this feature should be complemented by an “explode” command to separate the combined object back into its original components.

Would'nt it be be nice to have a Preview for .plasticity files in Win Explorer like .stl files or an external program for that?!

It would be great to have an option to isolate the inverse selection, hiding the selected objects and showing all others for easier editing.

change values in the required radial.json file and get the required icon colours and size: { "name": "Viewport settings", "command": "viewport:settings", "items": [ { "command": "viewport:toggle-orthographic", "size": "25", "fill": "red", "icon": "orthographic-view", "label": "Toggle orthographic" }, { "command": "viewport:toggle-x-ray", "icon": "xray", "label": "Toggle X-ray" }, { "command": "viewport:toggle-overlays", "size": "25", "fill": "green", "icon": "overlays", "label": "Toggle overlays" }, { "command": "viewport:toggle-render-mode", "icon": "render-mode", "label": "Toggle render mode" }, { "command": "viewport:toggle-edges", "size": "25", "fill": "blue", "icon": "edge", "label": "Toggle edges" }, { "command": "viewport:toggle-faces", "icon": "face", "label": "Toggle faces" } ] }

TLDR: 1) Only pull colors from the config. 2) Expose more colors. 3) No strange hardcoded colors we can't change. Longer description: Some of us need light mode to reduce eye strain, others want to create all sorts of custom themes. Why let us change 90%, only to disappointingly find out that the remaining 10% is locked? You as the developer should not have to support any custom themes, period. Let us the users take care of it, only you have to expose the values that make this possible. We already have a tailwind config — so let's use it consistently, not a little bit here and a little bit there. Replace current hardcoded colors and map them in the config (perhaps with # comments). Clean and simple, future-proof theming with minimal effort. All maintenance effort on the community, not the developers. You as the developer get one clean central config that stores all the used colors, we as the users get a central config to customize. Let everything outside of it remain unsupported & beyond scope. Only expand the current scope to not be so limited. The biggest issue is hardcoded light icons that do not work well on a custom light theme. Selection and selection highlight colors should be exposed as the default won't work well on every setup (again, light mode). Same for the default curve color.

It is not possible to copy a hierarchy of groups with objects inside between two plasticity files. The whole hierarchy is violated.

Never tried rhino, but ive tried blender and honestly hate the interface… though ive always thought the ease for plug ins to add modifiers based on specific needs or features was great. Both these software seems accept plug ins… plasticity does not. Allowing plug ins would greatly increase the rate of the programs development and customization capabilities based on users’ intended use case for Plasticity.

The current default is not optimal for every theme, for example it's too dark on a light theme.

add button or click on the size value selects all similar objects, whether face, edge, or body
