[Bf-funboard] Basic calculation in search menu

[Kai Wegner]

Hi,

I'm new to this list, so please be polite :)

I registered to propose an Idea, that I realized could be a really nice
thing. In 3D works you often need to calculate some things. I'm talking
basic adding, subtracting, multiplication and division.

Use Case:

So for example how much should I rotate this object to perfectly fit onto a
side of my cylinder (which is divided in 8 faces)?
Hit Space and type: 360/8
The search could then tell you 360 / 8 = 45.

Having written some python extensions for blender, I'm not sure if this is
possible via an add-on or not.

So this is my idea. Let me know if you like it or not.

regards
Kai
