is it possible to limit the extrusion length or distance when doing the extrude to 3d cursor function using code? if so please post possible code work around. i’m working on a retopology helper addon, and this will be added in its list of commands.
do you mean a restriction during a modal extrusion operation?
when you extrude right, or “extrude to cursor” it will extrude that edge with the direction and length relative to the cursor, i want to control the length with a user input value.
In a regular extrusion, just type a number, or tweak the values in the redo panel afterwards.
Extrude to Cursor can’t be controlled this way, you would need to re-create the main functionality in python (project mouse coordinates to 3d and extrude to that point, which may additionally require a calculation of the angle / direction)
thanks for the time, man. :), i’ll probably make a hackish version in the end.
