Been gone for a while some questions about the new designer.

I am trying to do a sink drain but the drain end up being about 1 1/2 the size of the sink. How can it control the size of it. I try doing in about 2mm one time and it was still bigger that the 46cm sink. It doesn't make any scene to me. Can we control the size of the spindle?

Spindles draw a circle around the defined axis once you define how many 'steps' aka angles are in that circle, so you only have to draw a cross section of 1 'quarter' of the circule, then ask the tool to draw a circule around the axis, and you can draw it around any axis, look at my pic, the red line is the X axis, and once I tell it to draw it around the red line at 24 'steps' it forms the saucer disc you want. Ofc you can make it in any direction you want, just have to define what axis you want it around  :)

Another example, here I draw the same thing but when you first enter the designer, the grid is now flat;

Which becomes, notice how its more smoother? because I added double the amount of steps around the spindle;

Final example, it doesn't have to be a monolithic saucer around a single point like a dome either, you can make 'rings' and 'halos' super easy with spindles. Imo, spindles are probably the single most important tool in the stock designer, and enable so many things if you use your imagination.
