I was hoping that Micheus would post an updated .beam as well... Not that I would have time to model anything but I do like to play with new Wings3D toys... Smile

It's here.
You can use the Install Plugin option in the File menu.

I made a change into the current source code of Snap. So, by now, this .beam file is a replacement for the current one in Wings3D 1.5.2. I hope that dgud would add it to the next Wings3d release. Smile

A bit confused. Do we use the Install Plug-in to install this or do we simply overwrite the existing .beam file? Or do they do the same thing?

Install Plugin copies the new beam file over the existing one. So, yes they do the same thing. Install Plugin just makes it easier... Smile

Micheus,
Since I had never used Absolute Commands > Snap before, it took me a few minutes to get the hang of the new feature. It works very good.

Thanks,

That looks very impressive. Great job. Would it be possible to make duplicates placed randomly. This would make a Scatter random tool for placing marbles on the floor or hairs on an almost bald head. Just wondering...

Scatter or Move>Random could be it's own tool. As an option in the Move menu for Vertex and Object mode, it could be useful in more ways.

Other flavours could be Random Along Axis or Plane (user defined and standard). I am thinking that two factors would involved in the calculation; direction and speed.

For Vertex mode I think that we already have it under Deform->Crumple. Wouldn't it be the same thing?

Similar if not the same as Crumple, yes.
Another idea would be to put an 'in tool option' to re-randomize the axis/acceleration; Press [1] to generate new random results.

It was accepted. Smile
