    In advanced mode, I am suggesting a Reset button to put all the sliders back to one.

    My opinion is that it's tedious to put all 3 back to one block when moving onto the next part to build. Going from 100 X by 30 Y by 20 Z, then going to 1 on all to switch to 10 X by 1 Y by 10 Z would be much easier than using the sliders to over-shoot, then slide (and using the arrows) to get the exact size you want.

    Speaking of which, why don't we have an option to put exact numbers for the sliders?

    (I guess that's two suggestions for the price of one. You're welcome. :whistle:)

    I agree with #two, because should we really add another button to do something it really just takes half a second to do? Unless you're using just the arrows(drag the thing works too), it takes no time at all to go swipe swipe swipe.

    I think making the slider a button-click control (in addition to its current drag control) would be good for data entry. Specifically, I am thinking that it would be nice to click on a slider and have an input control pop up, into which you type the number you want. Click, type zero or one, press enter, done. (Anything less than 1 is also translated to 1, to keep people from doing weird things with negative numbers.)

    You can currently click on the slider bar to instantly move the slider to the clicked position (without dragging). Another arrow-click or few can then quickly get it to the exact desired value.

    It could have been a nice thing. Then again, not even other programs like Blender or Visio have similar things. Well Blender appears to have some things where you can enter in a value. Not reset it mind you.

    My opinion is I find it tedious to use the slider and arrow buttons, and I was hoping to catch a developer eye to evaluate if this is an actual thing/issue. A interface issue if you will. Dunno if others may agree with me that X program can UI issue that can make or break a program. Eh, oh well. Thanks for the feedback gang.

    PS - Sorry if it came out clunky (i.e. disjointed in writing or "WTF did you just say?" :confused: ). I was on my phone at work during lunch time typing the message. LOL!
