... years?

Cheers,

You need a description about how it should work?

Cheers!

Yes, I wasn't involved in its development, I don't know what it does,
and I'm not sure whether it's incomplete, broken, or just difficult to use.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi. I'm just catching up on mailing list reading after being sick.

It is probably all three. I know that I put it on the modeling roadmap
as one of the most important things.  I remember using it a while back
and it working a bit better, but its very broken now. I'd definitely
like to discuss it if anyone want to do anything with that.


Sincerely,

Joe Crawford

Well, it seems that it was just never updated in the switch to the
array meshes. The lbutton_click function just contains
assert_not_implemented(). Romains last commits (still in CVS) read:
ENH: KnifeTool right click resets selection
BUG: Fixed KnifeTool bugs
ENH: Knife tool functional; TODO: undo/redo and tutorial enable it
BUG: Fixed crash in KnifeTool
ENH: Began restoring Knife tool

Cheers,

I'm really just looking at the larger issues behind "Tool" plugins.  
This is shaping-up to be a three-step process:

* Convert existing tools to plugins.
* Update the Tools menu and toolbar so they are dynamically populated
from tool plugins.
* Improve / simplify / generalize tool-related APIs.

I'm currently in the middle of step "one".

Cheers,
Tim

Ooh, good thing I never got around to start doing that then. I just
surveyed the terrain but never started digging. :)
