imagine importing an image of a floor plan on blender and convert the grease pencil object as a mesh to start to work.... just imagine ;)

Hi Pablo I am a fairly new user to blender grease pencil, I do a lot of 2d representations and implementing grease pencil has drastically improved my work flow, which is in general involves quick doodle on a rough sheet of paper, scan and import images as planes (Thanks to blender 2.80), then quickly blocking out the shapes in 3D and then sketching on top with grease pencil and final is to draw again on top as to fix line weight and other stuff.

This process generally involves in building the 3d models first to block out the shapes and takes time in 3D modelling. On the alternate if i directly sketch on 2d animation workspace its relatively hard to control the stroke in 3D because either i have to use bend (Shift + w) or other relative tools which are proportional.

On the above note, I have a suggestion to improve this by introducing some control points to the refine strokes and able to move with in 3D like the nurb curve control points for instance.

Hi Pablo, I just posted about a better algorithm for line drawings and grease pencil, would love to hear your opinion about it! blender.community/c/rightclickselect/L1gbbc/
