             Hi,
            
             
            
            
             
            
            
             
            
            
             
            
            
             
             
           
 
            
           
             I am writing a project proposal for the "3D Shape Maker Tool". Here is how I see the tool will work:
            
            
             - the tool displays a browsable list of all available shapes.
            
            
             - [wish] for each shape, the user can see a 3D preview
            
            
             - the user selects the desired shape, and edits it's generation parameters (e.g. the radius and height of a Cone)
            
            
             - the user can optionally decide where the code will be generated:
            
            
              1. add a createXX() method ath the end of the current sketch
            
            
              2. add the generation code at cursor position in the current sketch
            
            
              3. in a new, generated, class that contains the shape's generation code
            
            
             The tool should be designed to make it easy to add new shapes to it.
            
            
             I've decided to go for this tool, because I like 3D stuff, I have enough background in 3D (used to work on my own Raytracer) and it's really easy to manage my time because whenever I finish adding a new shape to the tool, I can start working on the next shape.
            
            
             Do you have any other suggestion about the tool ?
