sounds pretty great and easy to do!

One thing I am confused about though with quick rotate, using painting example, your walls wont always be along world grid, so rotating 45 might never line up with your wall, are you sure you dont want some rotate relative to your current camera facing? tracing into world to find surface normal and rotate relative to that, in increments, could also work.

Keep in mind mind we have opportunity to design a new editor here so we might as well think about it before proceeding.

Any thoughts?

Now its just about finding the right key to use in the editor, with my Vertex Snap plugin

Hi, i am really really glad you like idea
Tracing and finding surface angle would be incredible boost in some situations. In scenario with framed painting it would help a lot, but if you are trying to arrange something like boxes on the floor in the center of the room, then what would happen? How far would trace go? Maybe it could get grid snaping as a base value.

I was thinking same thing about camera’s angle as an ‘anchor’ for 's quick rotation. In my experience camera is rarely oriented exactly the way we need, so it may end up with rotating 45° from camera’s random 27.56242°. Unpredictable, but it may be helpful if user wants random angle just to break from 45° without changing any settings.

Both ideas are very nice but may not work in scenarios. Is there a to add those as a ‘modifiers’? Let’s say ‘V’ would just rotate the , Ctr+V would use camera’s angle and Alt+V would trace for surface. And maybe Ctr+Alt+V* to rotate along 's Z axis?

*Shift key is reserved for moving camera with the moved so it may be necessary use combos like .

Thanks for considering idea
