Editor features

I'm thinking about putting in some time into developing a map but i have a few questions/ suggestions for the editor.

It would be nice to have a measurement tool to measure lines, objects, vents. It would also be helpful in making sure the distances between tech nodes were accurate

Incidentally, I would also like to see a pop-up window that would have relevant information about the selected object (or 2d drawing). Such as dimension(s), texture, location and others. From this window you could edit those aspects directly. aka input dimensions that the object (or drawing) would scale to.

Also a right click menu with all of the tools when selecting objects.

I would like to see more numerical based tools instead of the graphical based 3d tools. I would like to be able to extrude to X dimensions when selecting a face. Rotate X , Y, and Z degrees.

I'm still getting used to the editor, I come from a CAD background as well as being familiar with Hammer. If these features are already implemented or if there a way add functionality I would be happy if someone could clue me in.

    There's only one thing already done from that list. The resize tool gives you the size of the object in question.

    Currently the focus is on optimizing the engine, so the editor isn't getting much love yet.
