Tool was rewritten few times, so please report bugs...

- Extruding along normal is available only in 2012 SAP
- for operations that relies on SI units you drag in component's normal direction, for other ops (like point skirting ratio/bevel subdivisions) just drag across screen
- subdivision highlighting is supported only for level 1 and only catmull-clark
- J, L hotkeys change subdivision on extrude
- K hotkey is for repeating operation on highlighted component/subselection
- ENTER shows op PPG
- shift makes operations 10x slower
- LMB is extruding, LMB and then RMB - changes inset ratio of extrusion
- MMB is beveling, , MMB and then RMB - changes bevel subdivisions
- RMB is insetting
- tool can also work in supra mode if you hotkey the tool
- I've used it to model few production objects and it's pretty useful

WOW!!
That's what Softimage needs, interactive extrude and quick tools like your hybrid.
Oh, and I love poly highlighting!
Now if you could throw in edge bevel/extrude into same tool it would be killer.

Do you use modifiers, or just mouse buttons?

Please proceed.

Right now I only use left/middle mouse button (repeat last extrude) and TAB to switch between extrude/inset mode.

That is indeed an impressive tool, Piotrek. The reason why i always liked silo (and im sure it applies to other well known modelers) is it combines as many operation into one tool as possible. Quite a fewer hotkeys would be needed if the modeling tools in xsi were designed this way...

thanks, It is more a training tool to get familiar with c++ after 15 years of not using it. hopefully things will go faster now cause this tool took me 3 long days to get done.

That's great, it means you can make 100 tools per year!

hehe, I wish

Looks great...
Is this more of a "proof of concept", an "inhouse tool" or do you plan to release it someday?

mostly for learning, I plan to do more and will be sharing this as soon as possible.

gr8 origin!
Possible to show value numbers of insets and extrude?
