By default it will create edges using your shapes.
If you want to create edges without closing shape, you can use Spacebar key. When you are drawing shape, you can press spacebar key to exit drawing anytime.
After pressing 9 key to commit, you can change options in Left-bottom panel. You can check “Pipe” option to create pipes.
Still in the way to be consistent and intuitive with Blender, what do you think about the idea to make right click to cancel/exit the tool and have the tab key to switch to selection mode? The Tab key is generally used to switch mode in blender also in some addons like CAD Transform
Now when you draw, you can press Ctrl + P to rotate the plane at your last drawn location! You can press Ctrl + P repeatedly to rotate it (facing top, left, front).
Oh no. Actually, right click is for contex menus, this is general among so many applications (even Blender this days) that even GridMod would benefit from this… Menu with possible modes on right click (selection / construct lines /etc…) would be really handy! Good replacement to the need to remember hotkeys for rare cases
Context menus are really great for feature discoverability too.
There even could be “Cancel/Exit without change” item
However, why not placing the grid to all selected faces from the very beginning of the process (as in the image below)? We do select all the faces on which we want to draw a line or a pipe and then we click ‘w’… and voila: there appear grids in all the selected faces… and then we draw on them continously.
Is it not possible to do such a thing Kushiro? If it is difficult no problem, as they are things now too are ok, but just sharing the idea…
