Tips

  • Created line could be edited by clicking on one of the vertices.
  • You can exist drawing line mode by pressing ESC/RMB.
  • If the selection is incorrect (more/less then 2 objects, non polygonal objects), the add-on runs a selection validator with tips for user. 
  • If the selection is correct (2 polygonal objects) - the validator will be skipped.
  • To don't get confused when drawing lines: think of the lines as rubber bands that squeeze when align confirmed.
