Maya: Quad Draw stips, how to set width?

foosart

Is there a way to set the default width of a strip drawn with QuadDraw tool? (Quad Draw tool, ctrl+shitf+drag RMB)

The size appears to depend completely on screen space. I'd like to be able to specify a width in units.

control+shift+middleMouse drag

most of the tools in the toolkit got a operation on middle mouse

Great, thanks!

Would be cool if there was a way to input a specific value, for drawing things like roads or paths.

ya i dont find the toolset that well integrated, should be able to create the first quad by hand, and have it use that as a starting point and size.

I agree.

You can draw a quad, then extrude 1 edge at a time. But that's not as efficient as the strips.
