I need to mirror curves A LOT for my work, and actually it is very simple to do, but software is making it harder than necessary, because the transform bounding box always defaults to perfectly horizontal and vertical lines. Here’s the workflow for mirroring planes and curves in perspective:
1. Draw a curve (blue)
2. Construct a flat plane around the curve in perspective (red)
3. Construct a mirrored plane on the other side by using perspective drawing rules (green)
4. Use the ZigZag lasso tool and select the 4 corners of the plane that contains the curve (red planes corners, circled in orange)
And now the part that needs to be improved:
5. Activate the transform tool, flip horizontally, and drag the
SELECTED corners into the corners of the green plane
Problem with step 5 is that the bounding box of the transform tool is different from the lasso selection, and can not be easily placed into the green plane. It would be so easy if the 4 lasso selected points created the bounding box for the transformation.
I know infinite painter allows you to change the transformation box before doing the transformation, so it is possible, (and Artstudio should implement that too), but what I am asking for here specifically is that, when doing 4 point selections with lasso tool, then the transform tool uses the same points for the bounding box. That would save so much time
