Re: Sketch-A-Graph type of hinge deformation
@Keet
I more or less 'solved' it by pulling the right side out as a drawer but that of course requires a wall behind it where it can go into without sticking out at the other side. Fortunately in my current project I can do that because it alignes with a wall on the inside.

A general workaround could be to use 2 different materials, one for the sides and one for the steps, so that you can hide the steps from the material editor window when the ladder is closed.
There are other programs that do similar things so technically it's possible. But it might run into the limitations with the current code.

Yes, I did mean that SH3D doesn't have such feature [yet].
It would be nice though if you can pose a mannequin arm by moving the hand

This is called inverse kinematics and it's quite easy to implement, but as long as SH3D joints doesn't support limits, it could lead to strange poses (i.e. elbow bent in the wrong direction, etc.), and you have to recover manually.
