Hello team,

Forgive me if any of the following suggestions are in the development pipeline or in the software and I couldn’t find it. Here are some feature suggestions I have from my time modeling in Arkio.

- Ability to toggle the ‘rotate wrist to open pallet’ on or off. I’m sure the default is preferred for most people, but how I naturally hold my hands with or without controllers makes me accidentally open the pallet almost constantly.
- Cartesian movement: the ability to constrain the movement vector of an object, especially imported objects other than the built-in datums and snaps.
- Maintain host/snap for imported objects: I’ve noticed recently that after placing an imported object like a marker board on a wall, moving it on the wall is tough because I’m now moving it freely in XYZ. A working plane tool could also solve this.
- List view with preview, smaller text, or more descriptive icons in the custom imports UI.
- Quick toggle between create and advanced edit mode without opening the pallet.
- Toggle object snapping by object (similar to the pin tool) This would be helpful when working with Google Map Tiles and LiDAR scans.
- Layers and Layer Management
- Layer states or design options within the same model
- Blender plugin
- Snaptrude plugin

That’s all I can think of for now. That’s just my two cents. I’m still continuously impressed with every update. I’m excited to see what’s next!
