Translate between planes - option to use plane's origin as rotation center point

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I use translate 3D a lot. 99% of the time I choose source rotation center point on the source plane's origin position and destination center point on the destination plane's origin. This extra clicking is error prone and I still get misclicks every now and then.

Would it be a big deal to add option "use plane's origin as rotation center point" checkbox ?

When moving a solid from one arbitrary position and orientation to another (to replace an older solid with a new one), I find it intuitive to create "source" and "destination" planes and use Translate 3D. I know you can do this with Dynamic but for some reason I don't love the gnomon.
