Thanks for the info on stitching. Makes sense now after reading the keyboard summary instructions again.
As far as line cleaving, um, I guess I need to be more specific. What I really mean is Edge cleaving. I use sector (which is the example you gave) and line cleaving as well as sector extruding with great delight. Hacking and pulling to make a three dimensional inner space is a fun challenge.
What I mean is that I don't understand what edge cleaving can do for you. You built it into this latest beta version for a reason, based on either your own thoughts or other's suggestions. What are some instances of their use so it would be a bit more obvious to (I supppose the somewhat dense) me.
Thanks, and keep up the great work,
