Colored Wireframe mode while editing the path

Hello Dale,

It would be very useful to have colored wireframe representing the new generated geometries while using "Edit the path of the active profile member or assembly " tool.

That would give better design decision by seeing its preview before applying it.

Thanks in advance,

  Hi Mousa, thanks for the feedback!  Unfortunately, this is not possible unless we write special versions of all of the standard SketchUp tools specifically for PB (eg. line tool, eraser, move, scale, etc.)  It is only possible to draw preview geometry in the context of a custom Ruby tool.  I hope this makes sense.

  I definitely see the advantage of this but it is unfortunately a lot of work compared to the value that it provides

  Hi Dale,

  Thanks for reply. Ok, that makes a lot of  sense for how these tools works, I hope if that SketchUp API can be developed in a way that allow plugins developers  makes like this type of previews !
