Scatter Objects Tool

This Tool is similar to my other Proposed Tool Add Objects that it shares a Tool category with (like Scale and Scale Cage) so some functionalities are the same.

This is a Proposal for a new Tool in the Toolbar: Scatter Objects . It's purpose is to quickly scatter assets accros in the Scene. The user can select an already existing Object in the Topbar and can then add Copies or Instances of the selected Object to the scene with clicking. Clicking once creates the object at the configured (options below) Position in the Scene. The user can then perform an initial Action (based on the Options Below) for example Scale the Object with dragging the Mouse. Another Click or Enter confirms the initial Action and the User can add the next Object. Rightclick or ESC cancels the initial Action (just like regular transform operations).

Topbar Items:

Options:
