[Bf-funboard] ideas for a superior topology drawing tool for blender

[car]

Really what is the problem of drawing ? The silo method rather clean. 
You have three methods. left click and draw, middle mouse to continue 
from an end of line point or close two points. and right click to 
select.

It is just drawing the mesh, other than makeing the entire drawing 
automatic it is really easy and smooth. My beef with blender doing it 
at all is that blender would be copying a brand new feature (if it is 
new) that a small company created out of creativity, instead of finding 
a new method it's self for silo people to take notice of blender.

But whatever, if it can be created then more power to ya.
