  I want to love this but it doesn't seem to work properly on an M1 Mac, I get "Python Script uses OpenGL for Drawing" and lines don't seemt o appear at all. I have to switch to OpenGL instead of using the native "Metal" driver, which then starts to become erratic and causes Blender to crash at some points.

  Hi menziez, this is a Blender 3.5 issue. Construction Lines is not currently supported on Blender 3.5 (please see supported versions on the right-hand side of the product page). I'm currently working on an update which fixes this issue and is currently in testing, so should be released soon.

  Has crashed blender serval times extrude function does not always execute on dragging all the way down. Generally not quite smooth flowing also does not snap to grid only to vertices.. Needs refining and need option to snap to grid when drawing

  To snap to the grid you need to be in orthographic view, then pick one of the standard views (front, left, right, top, bottom). You can also snap to the smaller grid points. The options are in the tool panel ('N' panel) under Construction Lines. Please contact me about the crashing whilst extruding as there may be a simple fix.

  Very erratic for a precision tool. Trying to draw rectangles or circles on cubes it might draw it so it creates a face on the cube or it might draw it 3 feet in front or exactly on top of the face. The only thing that works reliably is the measure and snapping to that guide, which is very helpful and that's going to be all I'll use it for. I know it says Beta, but it said that for two years now. If it only claimed to measure and snap to those guides I'd give it 5 stars and say it was worth the money, but it claims too much.

  I'm sorry to hear that you've had some issues. Circles and rectangles drawing off of a cube's face is a bug I've never had reported before. If you can fill out a bug report on my website, it would be really useful to help track this issue down so I can fix it. I respond to every bug report I recieve.

  Construction Lines has been in Beta for a long time because of the regular updates with new features. I recently put out a post to say that there will be no more major new features until after version 1.0 which will bring it out of Beta. At the moment, all development is focused on stability and performance.

  This add on does NOT work as advertised. Mac, Blender 4.4. I come from Sketchup and had high hopes for this tool. But it crashes constantly and loses the blender file. Very disappointing.

  Please see your email. I've sent a message to resolve the problem with you.

  Just a note, it's very harsh to give a one-star review before contacting for support. Most issues are easy to solve, sometimes as simple as restarting Blender.

  On my Mac, running Blender 4.2, it works so badly that I eventually had to uninstall it.

  It sounds like there may be a conflict. Please contact me through the feedback form on my website. I always respond to emails and it may be a simple fix.

  This Addon could be my absolute dream, to create meshes with an exact measure for my 3D Printer. On the other hand, I am a Mac User and have great problems with the Addon.
  I use Blender 3.6. Sometimes the Addon works, sometime not. Sometime it selects the right faces, sometimes not. The Boolean doesn'work. It adds the cuts to the mesh. (?)
  I tried two days to understand the Addon, but the results are always horrible.
  Please give me a feedback about my faults and an advice to understand it better. I think, I have a fundamental problem. I really want to work with this brillant Addon. Please help.
  Kind regards, Harry from Germany

  Hello Harry,

  Please contact me through my website form so I can support you with your issues. It sounds like there may be some conflicts going on if it isn't working consistently.

  I can certainly help you understand how to use Construction Lines. I wish you had contacted me before writing a review as I think with some understanding, it will work as you'd hoped.

  Regards,
  Dan
